PREFACE. 


The  author  of  the  American  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language  has  been 
prevented,  by  the  state  of  his  health,  from  attending,  in  person,  to  its  aoridgment 
into  the  octavo  form.  The  work  has,  therefore,  been  committed,  for  this  purpose, 
to  Mr.  J.  E.  Worcester,  of  Cambridge,  Massadiuaetts,  who  has  strictly  adhered 
to  the  general  principles  laid  down  for  his  direction  by  the  author.  Cases  of  doubt, 
arising  in  the  application  of  these  principles,  and  such  changes  and  modifications 
of  the  original  as  seemed  desirable,  in  a  work  of  this  kind,  intended  for  general 
use,  have  been  referred,  for  decision,  to  Prof.  Goodrich,  of  Yah  College,  who 
was  requested  by  the  author  to  act,  on  these  subjects,  as  his  representative. 
The  Synopsis  of  words  of  disputed  pronunciation  has  been  prepared  by  the  former 
of  tht-se  gentlemen  ;  Walker's  "  Key  to  the  Classical  Pronunciation  of  Greek,  Latin 
and  Scripture  Proper  Names"  has  passed  under  the  revision  of  the  latter. 

The  following  are  some  of  the  most  important  principles  on  which  the  Abridg- 
ment has  been  conducted. 

The  vocabulary  has  been  considerably  enlarged.  It  here  embraces  all  the  words 
contained  in  the  original  work,  and  in  Todd's  edition  of  Johnson's  Dictionary,  to- 
gether with  such  additional  ones  as  have  appeared  to  the  author  to  be  worthy  of 
isertion. 

The  leading  and  most  important  etymologies,  as  given  in  the  quarto  edition,  are 
aere  retained. 

Thvi  definitions  remain  unaltered,  except  by  an  occasional  compression  in  their 
statement.  All  the  significations  of  words,  as  exhibited  in  the  larger  work,  are 
here  retained  ;  and  new  ones  have,  in  some  instances,  been  added  by  the  author's 
direction,  as  deficiencies,  in  this  respect,  have  been  discovered.  The  illustrations 
and  authorities  are  generally  omitted :  In  doubtful  or  contested  cases,  however, 
they  are  carefully  retained. 

In  cases  of  disputed  orthography,  the  principle,  adopted  in  the  quarto  edition,  of 
introducing  into  the  vocabulary  the  different  forms  in  question,  has  been  carried,  in 
the  Abridgment,  to  a  considerably  greater  extent.  In  most  instances  of  this  kind, 
the  old  orthography  takes  the  lead,  and  is  immediately  r<)llowed  by  the  one  pro- 
posed. The  u  and  k,  however,  are  entirely  excluded  from  such  words  as  honor 
and  music,  in  accordance  with  the  decided  tendency  of  later  usage,  both  in  this 
country  and  in  England.  In  derivative  words,  the  final  consonant  of  the  primiiive 
is  doubled  only  tvhen  under  the  accent,  in  conformity  with  one  of  the  best  establi^lied 
principles  of  the  language.  On  this  subject,  Walker  observes,  in  his  Rhyming  Dic- 
tionary, "Dr.  Lowth  has  justly  remarked,  that  this  error  (that  of  doubling  the  final 
consonant  when  not  under  llie  accent)  frequently  takes  place  in  the  words  worship- 
ping, counselling,  etc.,  which,  having  the  accent  on  the  first  syllable,  ought  to  be 
written  ivorshiping,  counseling,  etc.  An  ignorance  of  this  rule  has  led  many  to 
write  bigotled  for  bigoted,  and  from  this  spelling  has  arisen  a  false  pronunciation  : 
but  no  letter  seems  to  be  more  frequently  doubled  improperly  than  /.  Why  we 
should  write  libelling,  revelling,  and  yet  offering,  suffering,  reasoning,  I  am  at  a  loss 
to  determine  ;  and  unless  /  can  give  a  better  plea  than  anv  other  letter  in  the  alpha- 
bet for  being  doubled  in  this  situation,  I  must,  in  the  style  of  Lucian,  in  his  trial  of 
the  letter  t,  declare  for  an  expulsion."  In  this  expulsion,  it  is  believed,  the  public 
will  finally  concur,  when  they  reflect,  that  this  violation  of  analogv  takes  place  in 


!t  preface. 

the  derivatives  of  comparatively  few  words,  in  opposition  to  multitudes  of  instances 
ill  wliich  tlic  gciicnil  rule  prevails. 

As  a  miido  to  proiniuridtion,  tlic  words  liavr;  been  carefully  diviflcd  into  syllahlos. 
Tliis,  in  the  great  majority  of  iiistaiiccs,  decides  at  once  tin.'  regular  sound  of  tiie 
vowels  in  the  respective  syllables;  and  wherever  the  vowels  depart  from  this  regu- 
lar sound,  a  ^;o/«^y/ letter  is  used,  (li!noting  the  sound  whieh  they  receive  in  such 
cases.  When  under  the  accent,  the  regular  long  sound  of  the  vowels  is  also  indi- 
cated by  a  pointed  letter.  Thus,  by  means  of  pointed  letters,  the  necessity  of  re- 
spelling  the  words,  as  a  guide  to  pronunciation,  is  chiefly  obviated.  In  cases  of 
dis[)uted  pronunciation,  the  diirerent  forms  are  frequently  given.  But  the  Synopsis 
of  Mr.  Worcester  exhibits  these  diversities  much  more  fully,  and  gives,  in  one 
view,  the  decisions  of  the  most  apjiroved  Pronouncing  Dictionaries  resjjecting  about 
eight  hundred  primitive  words,  which,  of  course,  decide  the  pronunciation  of  a  great 
number  of  derivatives.  Those  who  are  interested  in  such  inquiries  are  thus  pre- 
sented, at  a  single  glance,  with  nearly  all  the  important  points  of  diflerence  in 
English  orthoepy,  and  are  enabled  to  decide  for  themselves,  without  the  expense 
or  trouble  of  examining  the  several  authorities. 

In  some  instances,  vowels  have  a  fluctuating  or  intermediate  sound  ;  and  hence 
there  is  a  great  diversity  among  orthoepists  in  their  manner  of  indicating  the  sound 
in  question.  Thus  the  sound  of  a,  in  monosyllables,  in  ass,  ast,  ask,  ancc,  ant,  etc., 
is  marked  by  some  with  the  short  sound  of  a  in  fat,  and  by  otliers  with  its  Italian 
sound,  as  in  father.  In  this  work,  the  latter  is  given  as  the  prevailing  sound  both  in 
this  country  and  in  England.  JMitford,  indeed,  observes,  in  his  work  on  Har- 
mony in  Language,  "  No  English  voice  fails  to  express,  no  English  ear  to  perceive, 
the  difference  between  the  sound  of  a  in  jyassing  and  passive  ;  no  colloquial  familiar- 
ity or  hurry  can  substitute  the  one  sound  for  the  other."  The  true  sound,  how- 
ever, is  not  so  long  as  that  of  a  m  father,  but  corresponds  more  exactly  to  the  final  a 
in  umbrella.  Being  thus  short,  it  is  often  mistaken  for  the  sound  of  a  mfat.  There  is 
another  intermediate  sound  of  o,  between  its  ordinary  sound  infall  on  the  one  hand, 
and  in  what  on  the  other.  This  is  heard  in  such  words  as  salt,  malt,  etc.  As  tliis 
sound  seems  to  incline,  in  most  cases,  towards  the  short  rather  than  the  long  sound 
in  question,  it  is  here  marked  with  the  sound  of  a  in  what,  though  in  many  cases  it 
is  somewhat  more  protracted.  The  sound  of  o,  in  such  words  as  lost,  loft,  toss,  etc., 
is  not  so  short  as  in  lot ;  but,  like  the  o  in  nor,  though  slightly  protracted,  it  should 
by  no  means  be  prolonged  into  the  full  sound  of  a  in  tall.  In  monosyllables  ending 
m  are,  as  hare,  fare,  the  a  is  slightly  modified  by  the  subsequent  r.  Such  words 
ought  not  to  be  pronounced  as  if  spelled  hay-er,  fay-er,  but  hair,  fair.  Perry  alone, 
of  all  the  English  orthoepists,  has  introduced  a  distinct  character  to  indicate  tliis 
pound  ;  but  it  is  well  ascertained  that  Walker  and  others  coincided  with  Perry  in 
their  pronunciation,  in  accordance  with  the  general  pronunciation  of  England  in  this 
respect.  These  remarks  apply  likewise  to  the  words  parent,  apparent,  transparent, 
etc.  In  respect  to  accent,  there  are  many  words  in  which  the  primary  and  secon- 
dary accent  are  nearly  equal  in  force  ;  such  as  complaisant,  caravan,  etc.  In  such 
cases,  the  accent  is  here  thrown  towards  tlie  beginning  of  the  word,  in  accordance 
with  the  general  tendency  of  our  language. 

In  laying  this  work  before  the  public  in  its  present  form,  no  efforts  have  been 
spared  to  make  it  a  complete  defining  and  pronouncing  dictionary  for  general  use. 
About  sixteen  thousand  words,  and  between  thirty  and  forty  thousand  definitions  are 
contained  in  this  dictionary,  which  are  not  to  be  found  in  any  similar  work  widiin 
the  author's  knowledge.  These  additions  do  not  principally  consist  of  obsolete 
terms,  or  uncommon  and  unimportant  significations  of  words.  In  most  cases,  on  the 
contrary,  they  are  terms  and  significations  which  are  in  constant  use  in  the  various 
departments  of  science  and  the  arts,  in  commerce,  manufactures,  merchandise,  the 
hberal  professions,  and  the  ordinary  concerns  of  hfe.  They  mark  tlie  progress 
which  the  English  language  has  made  during  die  seventy  years  which  have  elapsed 


PREFACE.  T 

since  the  publication  of  Dr.  Johnson's  Dictionary.  Within  that  period,  a  complete 
revolution  has  taken  place  in  almost  every  braHch  of  physical  science.  New  de- 
partments have  been  created,  new  principles  developed,  new  modes  of  classification 
and  description  adopted.  More  rigid  principles  of  definition  have  been  gradually 
introduced  into  almost  every  department  of  human  knowledge.  In  these  respects, 
however,  our  dictionaries  have  remained  almost  stationary.  The  labors  of  our  lexi- 
cographers, since  the  time  of  Johnson,  have  been  chiefly  confined  to  tlie  btroduc- 
tion  of  new  words  into  the  vocabulary.  In  the  work  of  which  this  is  an  abridgment, 
the  words  have  all  been  defined  anew.  The  explanations  given  are  adapted  to  tlie 
idvanced  state  of  knowledge  at  the  present  day,  and  to  the  changes  which  seventy 
V^ears  have  made  in  the  use  of  terms.  In  the  definitions  of  the  leading  and  im- 
portant words,  the  signification  is  explained  by  enumerating  the  properties  of  tlie 
object  in  question,  and  not  merely  by  a  reference  to  other  words  of  a  similar  im- 
port. In  numerous  instances,  the  distinctions  between  words  which  are  apparently 
synonymous  are  traced  with  great  minuteness;  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  present  work 
may  supply,  to  a  considerable  extent,  the  place  of  a  regular  treatise  on  English 
synonyms.  In  a  work  of  tliis  kind,  however,  embracing,  as  it  does,  the  whole  circle 
of  ideas  embodied  in  the  language  of  a  nation,  the  utmost  efforts  of  the  lexicogra- 
pher are  only  an  approximation  towards  the  end  in  view.  No  single  mind  can 
enter,  with  perfect  exactness,  into  all  the  raultiphed  distinctions  of  thought  and  lan- 
guage, among  a  highly  oivihzed  people.  The  author  of  such  a  work  may,  therefore, 
confidently  hope  for  the  candor  and  indulgence  of  an  enlightened  public. 

As  the  author  of  the  original  work  has  intrusted  the  superintendence  of  the 
Abridgment  to  another  person,  he  is  not  to  be  considered  as  responsible  for  any  of 
the  modifications  already  alluded  to.  The  quarto  edition  will,  of  course,  be  con- 
sidered as  presenting  his  exact  views  of  tlie  proper  arrangement  and  exhibitior^ 
of  words,  in  respect  to  their  orthography  and  pronunciation.

PREFACE 


OF    THE 


REVISED   EDITION. 


TiiR  author  of  the  American  Dictionary  of  the  English  Language,  at  the 
expiration  of  twelve  years  from  its  first  publication,  has  given  to  the  world  a 
new  edition  of  the  work,  containing  his  last  corrections  and  improvements. 
These,  in  all  important  particulars,  are  now  introduced  into  this  Abridgment; 
chiefly  in  the  form  of  an  Appendix,  which  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  the  volume. 
Corrections,  however,  have  in  numerous  instances  been  made  in  the  body  of  the 
work  itself;  and  where  this  could  not  be  done  without  great  inconvenience, 
they  have  been  reserved  for  a  distinct  mention  in  this  Preface.  Thus  the 
Abridgment  as  now  presented  to  the  public,  is  made  to  correspond,  in  every 
important  respect,  to  the  most  improved  form  of  the  great  work  which  it  repre- 
sents. It  will,  therefore,  in  its  future  publication,  bear  the  name  of  the  Revised 
Edition. 

It  will  now  be  proper  to  state  more  distinctly,  the  alterations  and  improve- 
maents  made  by  the  venerable  author,  in  his  recent  edition  of  the  larger  work. 

1.  About^/J!een  thousand  words  have  been  added  to  the  vocabulary,  all  of 
"which  will  be  found  in  the  Appendix  to  this  work. 

2.  The  definitions  have  been  found  in  comparatively  few  cases  to  need  cor- 
rection, except  in  one  or  two  branches  of  science,  where  a  change  of  nomen- 
clature has,  to  some  extent,  taken  place.  New  senses  of  words,  however,  have 
fre(]ucntly  been  added  ;  and  these,  together  with  all  material  changes  of  defini- 
tion in  important  terms,  will  be  found  in  the  Appendix  under  the  words  them- 
selves, which  are  given  anew. 

3.  In  a  class  of  words  which  have  borne  two  forms,  the  author  selects  that 
which  he  deems  most  proper,  and  discards  the  other.  Thus  he  prefers  to  write 
aftericai'd,  baclaoard,  foTward,  onward,  toicard,  &c.,  without  the  s.  He  rejects 
amongst  and  lohilst,  as  obsolete ;  and  disannul,  as  an  unauthorized  and  unne- 
cessary substitute  for  anmil.  He  prefers  skeptic  to  sceptic ;  gimlet  to  gitnblet ; 
Mnhammedism  to  Mohammedanism;  chamomile  to  caT?iomile ;  handcj-aft  to 
handicraft ;  handwork  to  handy  work ;  incase  to  encase ;  enlist  to  inlist ;  em- 
body to  imbody.  He  also  remarks,  (what  had  escaped  his  notice  in  the  first 
edition.)  that  wiseacre  is  the  German  iceissager,  or  foreteller ;  and  would  more 
properly  be  spelled,  xoise-sayer.  On  the  principles  laid  down  in  the  Preface  to 
this  Abridgment,  most  of  these  words  were  inserted  under  both  their  forms ; 
and  still  are  suilered  to  stand  because  it  was  found  dilficult  to  make  the  change. 
It  will  be  understood,  however,  from  this  statement,  which  form  the  authoi 
approves. 

4.  The  pronunciation  of  some  disputed  words  has  been  changed,  in  conformity 
with  general  analogies,  or  more  recent  usage.  These  it  is  unnecesary  to  enu- 
merate, as  they  will  be  found  in  the  body  of  the  work.

SYNOPSIS 


WORDS   DIFFERENTLY   PRONOUNCED   BY   DIFFERENT   ORTHOEPISTS. 


ILLUSTRATIONS    AND    REMARKS. 

The  oSject  of  this  Synopsis  is  to  exhibit,  at  one  view,  the  manner  in  which  words 
of  doubtful,  disputed,  or  various  pronunciation,  are  pronounced  by  the  most  eminent 
English  orthoepists.     To  these  words  a  star  is  prefixed,  as  they  occur  in  the  Dictionary. 

The  six  Pronouncing  Dictionaries  which  have  been  made  use  of  in  the  Synopsis, 
namely,  those  of  Sheridan,  Walker,  Perry,  Jones,  Fulton  and  Knight,  and  Jameson, 
were  originally  published  in  the  order  of  time  in  which  they  are  here  exhibited, 
Sheridan's  being  the  first,  and  Jameson's  the  last. 

The  work  of  Perry,  which  has  been  made  use  of,  is  his  "  Synonymous,  Etymological 
and  Pronouncing  English  Dictionary,"  in  royal  8vo.,  which  was  first  published  in 
1805,  and  which  differs,  in  the  pronunciation  of  many  words,  from  Perry's  "  Royal 
Standard  English  Dictionary,"  which  appeared  many  years  earlier. 

These  orthoepists  have  each  his  own  peculiar  system  of  notation  ;  but  as  their  sev 
eral  systems  could  not  be  exhibited  in  the  Synopsis  without  much  inconvenience,  and 
without  causing  great  confusion  and  perplexity  to  the  reader,  their  respective  pronun- 
ciations have  been  represented  by  one  method  of  notation.  As  these  authors  do  not 
agree  with  each  other  with  respect  to  the  number  and  quality  of  the  sounds  of  the 
English  vowels,  it  is  impossible,  by  the  notation  here  used,  to  represent,  in  every 
instance,  their  precise   difference.     The  cases  of  failure,  however,  are  not  important. 

Perry  alone  makes  a  distinction  between  the  sound  of  long  a  as  m  fait ,  and  of  a  as 
\n  farf,  which  last  is  marked  by  him  thus  (a).  Sheridan,  Perry,  Fulton  and  Knight,  and 
Jameson,  make  no  distinction  between  the  short  sound  of  o  as  in  not,  and  the  sound  of 
0  as  in  nor ;  and  Sheridan  makes  none  between  the  sound  of  short  a  as  in  fat,  and  of 
what  IS  called  the  Italian  sound  of  a  as  in  far  and  fat/irr.  Fulton  and  Knight,  on  the 
contrary,  not  oaly  make  a  distinction  between  the  sound  of  a  in  fat  and  in  Jar,  but 
3csignaiti  an  intermediate  sound,  as  \n  fa!:t,  not  so  short  as  a  in  fat,  nor  so  broad  as  a 
in  far,  li  13  jjtobable,  however,  that  these  orthoepists  agreed  in  practice,  in  manj 
cases,  m  which  ifiey  differed  in  marking  the  pronunciation  of  words ;  and  that,  in  va- 
rious instances,  ihey  omitted  to  mark  the  discriminations  in  their  dictionaries,  which 
they  were  in  the  constant  habit  of  making  in  reading  and  speaking. 

With  regard  to  what  is  called  the  Italian  sound  of  the  letter  a  as  in  father,  (in  the 
Synopsis  marked  thus,  a),  there  is  a  great  diversity  among  the  different  orthoepists. 
Sheridan  has  not  used  it  at  all,  and  Walker  and  Jameson  are  more  sparing  in  the  use 
of  it  tlian  Perry,  Jones,  and  Fulton  and  Knight.  Dr.  Webster  has  made  more  use 
of  it  than  any  of  them.  But  this  difference  of  sound  is  not  deemed  to  be  so  impor- 
tant as  to  render  it  expedient  *o  introduce  tlie  words  which  are  affected  by  it  into  the 
Synopsis. 

With  regard  to  the  mode  of  representing  the  sound  of  the  letter  t,  when  it  comes 
after  the  accent,  and  is  followed  by  »,  as  in  the  words  natiirr  and  natural,  there  is  a 
great  diversity  in  the  Pronouncing  Dictionaries  ;  and  this  applies  to  a  numerous  class 
of  words.  It  has  boon  tliouglit  necessary  to  give  only  a  few  of  these  words,  mereljr 
enough  to  show  the  different  modes  of  different  orthoepists. 

There  is  a  class  of  words,  in  which  the  letter  d  is  followed  by  one  of  the  vowels  e,  1^ 
or  M,  as  arduous,  hideous,  obedience,  6i.c,,  respecting  which  there  is  a  diversity  of  pro* 


vui  SYNOPSIS. 

nunciation.  A  part  only  of  these  have  been  inserted,  but  enough  to  exhibit  this 
diversity,  and  indicate  what  other  words  must  be  ad'ectcd  by  it. 

Tliere  arc  some  words  (if  three  syllables,  which  we  hear  pronounced  sometimes  with 
the  secondary  accent  on  the  first,  and  the  primary  accent  on  the  third  ;  and  sometimes 
with  this  order  reversed  ;  as,  ambusradr,  coravai),  and  jitirlisan.  Dr.  Webster  inclines 
frLiicrally  to  place  the  primary  accent,  in  such  words,  on  the  first  syllable  ;  but  the 
(lilTcrciicc  IS  not  thouf^ht  to  be  important  enough  to  render  it  advisable,  in  all  cases,  to 
c.xliibit  them  in  the  Synopsis. 

With  regard  to  the  ([iiantity  of  the  last  syllable  of  many  words  which  end  in  ik  and 
inr,  i\s,jav(}iilc  and  vulpine,  there  is  a  great  diversity  in  the  Pronouncing  Dictionaries  ; 
and  there  are  sonu;  cases  in  which  it  is  diflicult  to  say  whether  the  long  or  the  short 
sound  is  to  be  preferred,  and  respecting  which  every  one  may,  without  impropriety, 
be  permitted  to  follow  his  own  taste  or  the  usage  to  which  he  is  accustomed.  Some 
of  the  words  of  this  sort  stand  in  the  Dictionary  without  having  the  quantity  of  the  last 
syllable  marked  ;  and  but  few  of  them  have  been  inserted  in  the  Synopsis. 

A  considerable  number  of  words  are  inserted,  with  regard  to  which  there  is  only  one 
uniform  pronunciation  exhibited  by  Dr.  Webster  and  the  several  authorities  made  use 
of  It  has,  nevertheless,  been  thought  advisable  to  insert  them,  because  a  different  pro- 
nunciation from  the  one  here  given  is  countenanced  by  other  authorities,  or,  to  a  greater 
or  less  extent,  by  usage  ;  and  it  may,  therefore,  be  satisfactory  to  many  to  see  the 
authorities  exhibited.  The  words  accessory,  centrifugal,  centripetal  and  repertory  are 
examples  of  this  class. 

Some  words  are  inserted,  of  which  the  pronunciation  is,  at  present,  well  set- 
tled ;  as,  for  example,  break,  covetous,  hydrophobia  and  the  noun  dejile.  But  with 
regard  to  these  words,  a  different  pronunciation  from  that  which  is  now  established 
formerly  prevailed,  and  is  supported  by  Sheridan. 

It  will  be  seen  that,  in  many  instances,  there  are  several  words  of  the  same  class  oi 
family,  to  which  a  star  is  prefixed  in  the  Dictionary,  though  only  one  of  them  is  found 
in  the  Synopsis.  In  these  cases,  the  leading  or  primitive  word  is  inserted,  which  gov- 
erns the  rest  of  the  same  class  ;  as,  for  example,  the  pronunciation  of  acceptable  an<l 
fearful  determines  the  pronunciation  of  their  derivatives,  acceptably ,  accepiableness, 
fearfully  and  fearfulness. 

In  the  Synopsis,  the  vowels  are  mariced,  in  many  instances,  by  a  period  under  them, 
to  denote  an  indistinct  sound.  These  syllables  are  differently  designated  by  the  or- 
thoepists  here  made  use  of;  though  they  all  doubtless  agreed  in  their  manner  of 
pronouncing  them.  In  the  word  celibacy,  for  example,  the  vowels  in  the  second  and 
fourth  syllables,  which  are  represented,  in  the  Synopsis,  by  the  indistinct  sound  of  e  (e), 
are  represented  by  Walker,  Fulion  and  Knight,  and  Jameson,  by  the  long  sound  of  c, 
and  by  Sheridan  and  Jones  by  the  short  sound  of  y.  Perry  marks  the  i  in  the  second 
syllable  short,  and  leaves  the  y  unmarked,  as  he  does  also  the  a  in  the  third  syllable, 
which  all  the  rest  designate  as  short,  and  which  has,  in  the  Synopsis,  the  mark  of 
the  indistinct  sound  of  a. 

Those  words  which,  in  the  first  column  of  the  Synopsis,  have  not  the  pronunciation 
marked,  are  pronounced  in  two  different  modes  in  the  Dictionary. 

Those  words  which  are  so  long  as  not  to  admit  of  being  displayed,  at  length,  in  the 
body  of  the  page,  are  there  placed  only  in  the  first  column,  with  Dr.  Webster's  pro- 
nunciation ;  and  the  pronunciation  of  the  other  orthoepists  is  given  at  the  bottom  of 
the  page.

ABA 

Vis  t!)«  fcrst  letter  of  the  alphabet  in  most  of  the  known 
Ianfti>ages  of  the  eartli :  in  the  Ethiopic,  however,  it  is 
tlie  thirlcenlh,  and  in  the  Runic  Ihe  tenth.  It  is  naturally 
the  first  letter,  because  it  represents  tlie  first  vocal  sound 
naturally  formed  by  thi  human  or(;aiis  ;  beiiiK  the  sound 
uttered  with  a  mere  opening  of  the  mouth,  without  con- 
straint, and  without  any  eiibrt  to  alter  the  natural  posi- 
tion or  configuration  of  the  lips. 

A  has,  m  English,  three  sounds  ;  the  long  or  slender,  as 
in  place,  fate  ;  the  broad,  as  in  wall,  fall,  which  is  short- 
ened in  salt,  what;  and  the  open,  as  \n  father,  ^la-is, 
which  is  shortened  in  rather,  fancu.  Its  primitive  sound 
was  probably  aic.  A  is  also  an  abbreviation  of  the  Saxon 
an  or  ane,  one,  used  before  words  beginning  with  a  con- 
sonant ;  as,  a  table,  instead  of  an  table,  or  one  table. 
This  is  a  modern  change  ;  for,  in  Saxon,  an  was  used 
before  articulations  as  well  as  vowels  ;  a^,  an  tid,  a  time, 
an  gear,  a  year.     Sec  An. 

This  letter  serves  as  a  prefix  to  many  English  words  ;  as  in 
asleep,  awake,  afoot,  aground,  ai^uing. 

A  is  also  used  for  anno,  or  tnte  ;  as  in  anno  Domini,  the 
year  of  our  Lord  ;  anno  viundi,  the  year  of  the  world  ; 
ante  mcriiitem,  before  noon  ;  and  for  or/.?.  In  artium  ma- 
eister,  master  of  arts.  Among  the  Uonians,  A  U  C  stood 
For  anno  ab  urbc  condila,  from  the  building  of  the  city,  or 
Rome

G. 


Gthe  seventh  letter  and  the  fifth  articulation  of  the  Enj- 
5  lisli  .Alphabet,  is  derived  to  us,  tlirough  the  Latin 
and  Greek,  from  the  Assyrian  languaces.  It  has  two 
sounds,  one  hard  or  close,  as  in  f;are  ;  the  other  soft,  like 
j  or  dih,  as  in  gem.  It  retains  its  hard  sound  in  all  cases, 
before  a,  o  and  u  ;  but  before  e.  i  and  w,  its  sound  is  hard 
or  soft,  as  custom  ha.s  dictatea,  and  its  dilferent  sounds 
are  not  reducible  to  rules.  It  is  silent  in  some  words  ;  as, 
benign,  condiffn. 

A»  a  numeral,  5  was  anciently  used  todenote  100, and,  with 
a  dash  over  it,  G,  40,000. — In  tiimj-ic,  it  is  the  mark  of  the 
treble  clilf;  and,  from  its  being  placed  at  the  head,  or  mark- 
ing the  first  sound  in  Guido's  scale,  the  whole  scale  took 
the  name  Gammut,  from  the  Greek  name  of  the  letter.

Kthe  eleventh  letter  of  the  English  Alphabet,  is  borrow- 
j  ed  from  the  Greeks,  being  the  same  character  as  the 
Greek  kappa,  answering  to  tlie  oriental  kaph.  It  repre- 
■ents  a  close  articulation,  formed  by  pressing  the  root  of 
the  tongue  against  the  upper  part  of  the  mouth,  with  a  de-

6HAL,     j  *■  \      sccalav,  srylan.     Shall   is   defective, 

liaving  no  infinitive,  imperative  or  participle.]  1.  Shall 
is  primarily  in  the  present  tense.  We  still  use  shall  and 
should  before  another  veru  in  the  infinitive,  without  the 
sign  to  ;  but  the  signification  of  shall  is  considerably  de- 
flected from  its  primitive  sense.  It  is  now  treated  ns  a 
mere  auxiliary  to  other  verbs,  serving  to  form  some  of  the 
tenses. — In  the  present  tense,  shall,  before  a  verb  in  the 
infinitive,  forms  the  future  tense  ;  but  its  force  and  efTocl 
are  different  with  the  different  persons  or  i)ersonal  pro- 
nouns. Thus,  in  tUe  first  person,  sAa/i  simply  foretells  or 
declares  what  will  take  jjlace  ;  as,  I  or  we  shall  ride  to 
town  on  Monday. — 2.  In  the  seeond  and  third  persons, 
shall  implies  a  promise,  command  or  determination  ;  as, 
you  shall  receive  your  wages. — 3.  Shall  I gol  shall  he  go? 
interrofratinelii,  asks  for  permission  or  direction.  But  shall 
yougol  asks  for  information  of  another's  intention.  1.  Hut 
after  another  verb,  shall,  in  the  third  person,  simply  fore- 
tells ;  as,  he  says  that  he  shall  leave  town  to-morrow. 
So  also  in  the  second  person  ;  as  you  say  that  you  shall  ride 
to-morrow.  H.  After  if,  and  some  verbs  which  express 
condition  or  supposition,  .«Aa//,  in  nil  the  persons,  simply 
foretells. — fi.  Should,  in  1\\b  first  person,  implies  a  conrli- 
tional  event.  7.  Should,  though  properly  the  past  tense 
of  shall,  is  often  used  to  express  a  contingent  future 
event ;  as,  if  it  should  rain  tomorrow.

w. 


Wis  the  twenty-third  letter  of  the  English  Alphabet.  It 
takes  ita  written  form  and  its  name  from  the  union 
of  two  V's,  this  being  ihe  form  of  the  Roman  capital  let- 
ter which  we  call  U.  \V  is^  properly,  a  vowel,  a  simple 
sound,  formed  by  opening  the  nioutli  with  a  close,  circu- 
lar conliguration  of  the  liis.  It  is  precisely  the  ok  of  the 
French,  and  the  u  of  the  Spaniards,  Italians  and  (jermans. 
With  the  other  vowels  it  forms  diphthongs,  which  are  of 
easy  pronunciation  ;  as  in  well,  want,  trill,  dwell,  pro- 
nounced uoill,  onant,  ooill,  doocll.  In  Kn/rliuli,  it  is  al- 
ways followed  by  another  vowel,  except  when  followed 
by  A,  as  in  when. — \V,  at  the  end  of  words,  is  often  silent 
after  a  and  o,  as  in  law,  saic,  low,  sow.  In  many  words 
of  this  kind,  w  represents  *he  Saxon  "■ ;  in  other  cases,  it 
helps  to  form  a  diphthong,  as  in  now,  vow,  new,  strew.

PREFACE. 


THE  Critical  Pronouncing  Dictionary  of  tho  English  Lan- 
guage naturally  suggested  an  idea  of  the  present  worli.  Proper 
names  from  the  Greeic  and  Lati.i  form  so  considerable  a  purt 
of  every  cultivated  living  language,  that  a  Dictionary  seems 
to  be  imperfect  without  them.  Polite  scholars,  indeed,  are 
seldom  at  a  loss  for  the  pronunciation  of  words  thuv  so  fre- 
9'iently  meet  with  in  the  learned  languages  ;  but  there  are 
great  numbers  of  respectable  English  scholars,  who,  having 
only  a  tincture  of  classical  learning,  arc  much  at  a  loss  fur  a 
knowledge  of  this  part  of  it.  It  is  nut  only  the  learned  prufu«- 
eions  that  require  this  Itnowledge,  but  almost  evi-ry  one  above 
the  merely  mechanical.  The  prufossurs  of  painting,  statuary, 
and  music,  and  those  who  admire  their  works  ;  readers  of 
history,  politics,  poetry  ;  all  who  converse  on  subjects  over 
eo  little  above  the  vulgar,  have  so  frequent  occasion  to  pro- 
nounce these  proper  names,  that  whatever  tends  to  render  tliii 
pronunciation  easy  must  necessarily  be  acceptable  to  tho 
public. 

The  proper  names  in  Scripture  have  still  a  higher  claim  to 
Mu  attenlioQ.    That  every  thing  contained  in  that  precious 


repository  of  divine  truth  tbould  ba  r«aJ«red  as  t*y  as  passi- 
ble to  the  reader,  canniii  Iw  doubled  :  and  tim  very  frr<|urnt 
occasions  of  pronouncing  Scripture  proper  nanH-i,  in  a  country 
where  reading  tlic  Scrip'.uro  makes  part  of  the  religiuui  wor- 
ship, seem  to  demand  some  viutk  on  this  subject  niuro  perfect 
than  any  we  have  hitlivrto  seen. 

I  could  have  w'sIknI  it  bad  been  undertaken  by  a  pcr»<in  of 
more  Ivarnin?  and  leisure  than  my«elf ;  but  wo  often  wait  in 
vain  for  works  of  this  kind.  from'tluMo  lenrnod  btxlio  which 
ought  to  produce  them,  and  at  last  are  obii^tol,  fur  the  beat 
we  can  get,  to  the  labours  of  sumo  iK-citmluus  individual. 
Being  long  engaged  in  the  instruction  of  youth,  I  felt  the  want 
uf  a  work  of  tins  kind,  and  bavi-  supplied  it  in  the  bc<t  manner 
I  am  able.  If  I  have  been  linppy  enough  to  bo  unel'ul,  or  only 
Bu  far  useful  as  to  induce  suiiiu  abler  hand  u  uiidcitako  ibe 
subject,  I  shall  think  my  lalior  amply  rowardixl.  I  shall 
still  console  myself  with  reflecting,  that  he  who  has  produced 
a  prior  work,  however  inferior  to  those  that  <uccee4l  it,  u 
under  a  very  ditfurent  predicament  from  him  who  produoat  W 
afler-work,  inferior  to  tiioso  tliat  have  gone  before.

THE  hvoralxs  leMption  of  the  6rc'.  edition  of  this  work 
haa  induced  me  to  attempt  to  make  it  still  nioro  worthy  of 
tho  acceptance  of  tho  public,  by  tho  addition  of  several  critical 
observations,  and  particularly  by  two  Te'minalional  Vocab- 
ularies, of  Greek  and  Latin,  and  Scripture  Proper  Names. 
That  so  much  labor  ehouM  be  l>estowed  upon  an  inverted 
arrangement  of  these  words,  when  they  had  already  been 
given  in  their  common  alphabetical  order,  moy  \w  matter  of 
wonder  to  many  persons,  who  will  natu-ally  'nquire  into  the 
utility  of  sucn  an  arrangement.  To  these  it  nuy  bo  answered, 
that  tho  word»  W  all  languages  seem  Tior''  related  to  each 
other  by  their  termiaatioas  than  by  their  ligmningi ;  that  the 


Grcnk  and  Latin  lanftoagei  secra  mnre  partleolarly  to  *»  taoi 

relateil  ;  and  clastiiig  them  according  to  their  endings  seemed 
tn  exhibit  a  new  vu'w  of  these  languages,  Iwlh  curiojs  and 
useful  .  for,  as  ttroir  accent  and  quantity  lepcnd  m>  much  oo 
their  termination,  such  an  arrangement  appeared  to  give  an 
easier  and  more  comprchen^ivo  idea  of  their  pronunciation 
than  tho  common  classification  by  their  initial  syiiablea. 
This  end  was  so  uesiraliie  as  to  induce  in«  to  spare  no  paiiw. 
however  dr/  and  disgusting,  to  promote  it  ;  and,  Uthe  mi-lhiX]

INTRODUCTION. 


I RB  prononciat'ion  of  the  learned  lanruagpg  is  much  more 
easily  acquired  than  that  of  uur  own.  Whatever  might  have 
been  the  variety  of  the  different  dialects  among  the  Greeks, 
and  the  different  provinces  of  the  Romans,  thuir  languages, 
now  being  dead,  are  generally  pronounced  according  to  the 
respective  analogies  of  the  several  languages  of  Enro[)e,  where 
those  languages  are  cultivated,  without  partaking  of  those 
anomalies  to  which  the  living  languages  are  liable. 

Whether  one  general,  uniform  pronunciation  of  the  ancient 
languages  he  an  object  of  sufficient  importance  to  induce  the 
learned  to  depart  from  the  analogy  of  their  own  language, 
and  to  study  the  ancient  Latin  and  Greek  pronunciation,  as 
they  do  the  etymology,  syntax  and  prosody  of  those  lan- 
guages, is  a  question  not  very  easy  to  bo  decided.  The  ques- 
tion becomes  still  more  difficult  when  we  consider  the  uncer- 
tainty we  are  in  soapectine  the  ancient  pronunciation  of  the 
Greeks  and  Romans,  and  now  much  the  learned  are  divided 
among  themseivea  about  it.*  Till  these  points  aro  settled, 
the  English  may  well  be  allowed  to  follow  their  own  pronun- 
ciation of  Greek  and  Latin,  as  well  as  other  nations,  even 
though  it  should  bo  confessed  that  it  seems  to  depart  more 
from  what  we  can  gather  of  the  ancient  pronunciation,  than 
eitlier  the  Italian,  French  or  German. t  For  why  the  English 
Bhould  pay  a  compliment  to  the  learned  languages,  which  is 
not  done  by  any  other  nation  in  Europe,  it  is  not  easy  to  con- 
ceive j  ana  as  the  colloquial  communication  of  learned  indi- 
viduals of  different  nations  so  seldom  happens,  and  is  an  ob- 
iect  of  so  small  importance  when  it  does  happen,  it  is  not 
much  to  bo  regretted  that  when  they  meet  they  are  scarce- 
ly intelligible  to  each  other.  J 

*  Middleton  contends  that  the  initial  c  before  e  and  i  ought 
to  be  pronounced  as  the  Italians  now  pronounce  it  ;  and  tiiat 
Cicero  is  neither  SUero,  as  the  French  and  English  pronounce 
it'  nor  ff'iiero,  as  Dr.  Bunt  ley  asserts  ;  but  7'cAi£c/icro,astho 
Ita.ians  pronounce  it  at  this  day.  This  pronunciation,  how- 
ever, is  derided  by  Lipsius,  who  affirms  that  the  c  among  the 
Romans  had  always  the  sound  of  k.  Lipsius  says,  too,  that,  of 
all  the  European  nations,  the  British  alone  pronounce  the  i 
properly  ;  but  Middleton  asserts,  that  of  all  nations  they  pro- 
nounce it  the  worst.  Middleton  De  Lat.  Liter.  Pronun.  Diisert. 

Lipsius,  speaking  of  the  dilFeront  pronunciation  of  the  letter 
G  in  different  countries,  says,

f  Monsieur  Launcelot,  the  learned  author  of  the  Port-Royal 
Greek  Grammar,  in  order  to  convey  the  sound  of  the  long 
Greek  vowel  n,  tells  us,  it  is  a  sound  between  the  e  and  the  a, 
and  that  Eustathius,  who  lived  towanls  tho  close  of  the 
twelflh  century,  says,  that  (in,  Z^^.  is  a  sound  nia<lo  in  imi- 
tation of  the  bleating  of  a  sheep  ;  and  quotes  to  tins  purpose 
this  verso  of  an  ancient  writer  called  Cratinus  i

cients is  a  sound  in  imitation  of  the  C'l'-psydra,  us  haa  is  ox-

But  the  English  are  accused  not  only  of  departing  from  th» 

f[0nuine  sound  of  the  Greek  and  Latin  towoU,  but  of  riu- 
ating  the  quantity  of  these  languages  more  than  the  [irople 
of  any  other  nation  in  Europe.  The  author  of  iIh;  Ewiy 
upon  tho  Harmony  of  Language  gives  lu  a  detail  of  ttic  par- 
ticulars by  which  this  accusatiun  u  proved  :  and  thu  is  lo 
true  a  picture  of  tho  English  pronancialiun  of  Latin,  that  1 
shall  quote  it  at  length,  as  it  may  bo  of  usn  to  thuae  who 
are  obliged  to  iearu  thi^  language  without  the  aid  of  ■ 
teacher. 

"  The  falsification  of  the  harmony  by  English  scholar*  in 
their  pronunciation  of  Latin,  with  regard  tueucntial  [aiints, 
arises  from  two  causes  only  :  first,  from  a  total  inattention  lu 
tho  length  of  vowel  sounds,  making  them  long  or  short  merely 
as  chance  directs  ;  and,  secondly,  t'rom  souniting  double  con- 
sonants as  only  one  letter.  I'ho  remedy  of  this  last  fault  u 
obvious.  With  regard  to  the  first,  we  have  already  observed, 
that  each  of  our  vowels  hath  its  general  long  sound  and  its 
general  short  sound  totally  different.  Thus  the  short  sound 
of  e  lengthened  is  expressed  by  the  letter  a,  and  tho  khort 
sound  of  i  lengthened  is  expressed  by  tho  letter  e  .■  and  with 
all  these  anomalies  usual  in  the  application  of  vowel  Chirac- 
ters  to  tho  vowel  sounds  of  our  own  language,  we  proceed 
to  the  applicatiiin  of  vowel  sounds  to  the  vuwcl  characters 
of  the  Latin.  Thus,  in  tho  first  syllable  of  ndus  and  nomen, 
which  ought  to  be  long,  and  of  mUrr  and  oniu,  which  ought 
to  be  short,  we  equally  use  the  common  long  sound  of  the 
vowels  ;  but  in  the  obli(|ue  cases,  sideru,  nvminu,  mtseri,  tme- 
ris,  &c.,  we  use  quite  another  sound,  and  that  a  short  one. 
These  strange  anomalies  arc  not  in  common  to  us  with  our 


the  sound  of  every  Greek  vowel  had  been  conveyed  to  us  bj 
as  faithful  a  testimony  as  the  rfra  ;  we  should  certainly  hav« 
had  a  better  idea  of  that  harmony  for  which  theGr«rk  Ian 
guago  was  so  famous,  and  in  which  respect  Quintilian  can- 
didly yields  it  the  preference  to  the  Latin. 

Aristophanes  has  handed  down  to  us  the  pronunciation  nf 
the  Greek  diphthong  iiJ  aZ,  by  making  it  expressive  of  tho 
barking  of  a  dog.  This  pronunciation  is  exactly  like  that 
preserved  by  nurses  and  children  among  us  to  this  day  in 
bow  tcow.  This  is  the  sound  of  the  same  letters  in  the  Latin 
tongue  ;  not  only  in  proper  names  derived  from  tJreok,  but  in 
every  other  word  where  this  diplitliong  occurs.  .Most  nation! 
in  I'urope,  [lerhaps  all  but  the  English,  pronnunro  audio  and 
laudo,  as  if  written  otrdio  and  loicdo  :  the  diphthong  sound- 
ing like  ou  in  loud.  .Agreeably  to  this  rule,  it  is  pr-^umcd 
that  we  formerly  pronounced  the  apostle  /'au/ nearer  llio  origi- 
nal than  at  present.  In  Henry  the  Eighth's  time  it  was  writ- 
ten St.  PouWs,  and  sermons  were  preacheil  at  Poult's  Cross 
The  vulgar,  generally  the  last  to  alter,  either  for  tlie  ln-ttcr 
or  worse,  still  have  a  jingling  proverb  with  this  pronuncia- 
tion, when  they  say,  -4.*  old  as  Poule.i. 

The  sound  of  the'  letter  u  is  no  less  sincerely  preserved  in

"  Ft  appears  here,"  says  Mr.  Forsler,  in  his  defence  of  th« 
Greek  accents,  page  \'2i),  "  that  an  owl's  cry  wa«  fu,  tu,  to  a

K.ssffy  upon  the  Harmony  of  Language,  page  224.  Printed  for 
Robson,  1774. 

This,  it  must  be  owned,  is  a  very  just  state  of  the  ca.se  ;  but 
though  the  Latin  (juantity  is  thus  violated,  it  is  not,  as  this 
writer  observes  in  the  first  part  of  the  quotation,  merely  as 
rhanre  direcU,  but,  as  he  afterwards  observes,  re^ulnrbj,  and, 
he  might  have  added,  according  to  the  analogy  ol  English  pro- 
nunciation, which,  it  may  be  observed,  has  a  genius  of  its 
own  ;  and  which,  if  not  so  well  adapted  to  the  pronunciation 
of  Greek  and  Latin  as  some  other  modern  languages,  has  as 
fixed  and  settled  rules  for  pronouncing  them  as  any  other. 

The  learned  and  ingenious  author  next  proceeds  to  show  the 
advantages  of  pronouncing  our  vov.ols  so  as  to  express  the 
Latin  quantity.  "  VV'e  have  reason  to  suppose,"  says  he, 
"  that  our  usual  accentuation  of  Latin,  however  it  may  want 
of  many  elegancies  in  the  pronunciation  of  the  Augustan  age, 
is  yet  sufliciently  just  to  give  with  tolerable  accuracy  that 
part  of  the  general  harmony  of  the  lancuageof  which  accent  is 
the  efficient.  \Ve  have  also  pretty  full  information  from  the 
poets  what  syllables  ought  to  have  a  long,  and  what  a  short 
quantity.  To  preserve,  then,  in  our  pionunciation,  the  true 
harnnny  of  the  language,  we  havo  only  to  take  care  to  give 
the  vowels  a  long  sound  or  a  short  sound,  as  the  quantity  may 
require;  and,  when  doubled  consonants  occur,  to  pronouuco 
each  distinctly."     /lid.  page  2s28.t 

In  answer  to  this  plea  for  alteration,  it  may  be  observed, 
that  if  this  mode  of  pronouncing  Latin  be  that  of  foreign  na- 
tions, and  wero  really  so  superior  to  our  own,  we  certainly 


*  This  corruption  of  tho  true  quantity  is  not,  however,  pecu- 
liar to  the  English  ;  for  Beza  complains  in  his  country  :  Hinc 
enim  fit  ut  in  Gra^ca  oratione  vel  nullum,  vel  prorsus  corrup- 
lum  numerum  intelligas,  dum  multte  breves  producuntur,  et 
contri  plunmEB  longas  corripiuntur.  Beza  de  Germ.  Pron. 
Gra?csD  Lingua;,  p.  50. 

\  By  what  this  learned  author  has  observed  of  our  vicious 
pronunciation  of  the  vowels,  by  the  long  and  short  sound  of 
them,  and  from  the  instances  he  has  given,  he  must  mean  that 
length  and  shortness  which  arises  from  extending  and  contract- 
ing them,  independently  of  the  obstruction  which  two  conso- 
nants are  supposed  to  occasion  in  forming  the  long  quantity. 
Thus  we  are  to  pronounce  vianus  as  if  written  and  divided 
into  mflH-Kits  ;  and  pannus  as  if  written  paij-nus,  or  as  we 
always  hear  the  word  panU  (bread)  ;  for  in  this  sound  of  pan- 
Kxis  there  seems  to  be  no  necessity  for  pronouncing  the  two 
consonants  distinctly  or  separately,  which  he  seems  to  mean 
by  distinctly,  because  the  quantity  is  shown  by  the  long  sound 
of  the  vowel:  but  if  by  distinctly  he  means  separately,  that  is, 
as  if  what  is  called  in  French  the  scheva  or  mute  e  were  to  fol- 
low the  first  consonant,  this  could  not  be  done  without  adding 
a  syllable  to  tho  word  ;  and  the  word  pannus  would  in  that 
case  certainly  have  three  syllables,  as  if  written  pan-eh-niLs. 

i  That  is,  in  the  general  pronunciation  of  Greek  ;  for,  let 
the  written  accent  be  placed  where  it  will,  the  guaniUalive 
accent,  as  it  may  be  called,  follows  the  analogy  of  the  Latin. 

$  "  The  Greek  language,"  sajrs  the  learned  critic,  "was 
happy  in  not  being  understood  by  the  Goths,  who  would  as 
certainly  have  cor'upled  the  t  in  uin'a,  iirlov,  &,c.  into 
mlaia,  ixtlov,  &.C.  as  they  did  the  Latin  "  motto  and  doeeo 
into  mosnio  and  dosheo."*  This,  however,  may  be  questioned  j 
for  if  in  Latin  words  this  impure  sound  of  C  take  place  onJy  in 

•  AuBwortb  on  tb«  letter  T. 


mual  perceive  it  In  the  pronunciation  of  furrli^nora,  wh"^  vrt 
vialt  thrm,  or  th)-y  ua  :  but  I  think  I  may  ap|M'ul  to  th<-  <'X|>o- 
rinnco  of  uvurv  oni;  who  hna  had  an  op|N<rluiiily  of  making  III* 
<'i|Mirimeiil,  that,  ao  I'nr  from  ihu  aii|M:riority  U'ini,'  on  the  aide 
of  thu  fiiri'ign  pronnnciution,  it  a<;<;iiia  much  interior  to  our 
own.  I  um  aware  of  the  jMiwi-r  of  habit,  mid  of  ila  luring  abl* 
on  many  occajriinu,  to  make  the  trvrm  appear  the  heltrr  reason 
hut  if  llio  harmony  of  the  Latin  Iniiguagu  deiKiided  ao  much 
on  u  prcaervation  of  tho  ijiiautitv  aa  many  pretend,  thia  Imr 
inony  would  surely  overcomu  the  biaa  we  liavu  to  our  own 
pronunciation  ;  capccially  if  our  own  were  really  ao  deatructivn 
of  harmony  ua  it  ia  aaid  to  lor.  Till,  therefore,  we  liuvo  a 
more  accurate  idcaof  the  nature  of  quantity,  and  of  that  Ix^autj 
and  harmony  of  which  it  ia  aaid  to  Ix-  the  etTicieiit  in  tho  pro 
niinciation  of  Latin,  wu  ought  to  prea^rrvo  a  pronunciation 
which  has  naturally  aprung  up  in  our  own  aoil,  and  ia  congenial 
to  our  native  language.  B<.-iiide«,  an  alteration  of  thia  kind 
would  Iw  atiendod  with  ao  much  diaputc  and  uncertainty  aa 
miiat  make  it  highly  ilDIiolitic  to  attempt  it. 

The  analogy,  then,  of  our  own  language  being  the  rule  for 
pronouncing  the  learned  languages,  we  ahall  have  little  occa- 
aiim  for  any  other  directiona  for  the  pronunciation  of  the  Gr^-k 
and  Latin  prop»;r  names,  than  such  oa  are  given  for  tho  pri»- 
nunciation  of  English  worda.  The  general  rules  arc  followed 
almost  without  exception.  The  first  and  moat  obvious  powera 
of  the  letters  are  adopted,  and  there  is  scarcely  any  difficulty 
but  in  the  position  of  the  accent ;  and  thia  depends  ao  much  on 
the  quantity  of  tho  vowels,  that  wc  need  only  inapcct  a  dio- 
tionarr  to  find  the  quantity  of  the  penultimate  vowx-l^  and  thia 
determines  the  accent  of  all  the  Latin  wordi ;  and,  it  may  bo 
added,  of  almost  all  Greek  words  likewise. {  Now,  in  our  pro- 
nunciation of  Latin  words,  whatever  be  the  quantity  of  the 
first  syllable  in  a  word  of  two  syllables,  we  always  place  the 
accent  on  it :  but  in  words  of  more  syllables,  if  the  penuiti 
mate  be  long,  we  place  tho  accent  on  that ;  and  if  ihort  wa 
accent  the  antejienultimate. 

The  Rules  of  the  Latin  Accentuation  are  comprised  in  e 
clear  and  concise  manner  by  Sanctius  within  four  hexameters : 

Accentum  in  sc  ipsSi  monosyllaba  dictio  pooit. 
Exacuit  sedein  dissyllabon  omne  priorem. 
Ex  tribus,  extollit  primam  pcnaltima  curta: 
Extollit  seipsam  quando  est  pcnultima  loDga. 

Those  rules  I  have  endeavored  to  express  in  English  veraa . 
Each  monosyllable  has  stress  of  course  ; 
Words  of  two  syllables  the  first  enforce  : 
A  syllable  that's  long,  and  last  but  one, 
Must  have  the  aco?nt  upon  that  or  none « 
But  if  this  syllable  be  short,  the  stress 
Must  on  the  lust  but  two  ila  force  express. 

The  only  difference  that  seems  to  oMain  between  the  pro- 
nunciation of  the  Greek  and  Latin  langua^s,  is  that,  in  the 
Latin,  ti  and  si,  preceded  by  an  accent,  and  followed  by  another 
vowel  forming  an  improper  diphthong,  are  pronounced  as  in 
English,  like  sh  or  zA,  as  nalio,  nation  ;  prrsuaMo,  persuasioiL, 
&,c.;  and  that,  in  the  Greek,  the  same  letters  retain  Ibeir  pura 
sound,  as  (piXauTia,  ayvwaia,  npojiaTtov ,  k.  t.  X.$    This  dif 


those  words  where  the  accent  is  on  the  preceding  vowel,  as  in 
natio,facio,  &.C.;  but  not  when  the  accent  follows  tbe  t,  and  is 
on  the  following  vowel,  as  in  satieta3,societ42s,&.c.,  why  should 
we  suppose  any  other  mode  of  pronunciation  would  have  been 
adopted  by  the  Goths  in  their  pronouncing  the  Greek  .'  Now 
no  rule  of  pronunciation  is  more  uniform  in  the  Greek  lan- 
guage than  that  which  places  an  acute  on  tbe  iota  at  the  end 
of  words,  when  this  letter  is  succeeded  by  a  long  vowel ,  and, 
consequently,  if  the  accent  be  preserved  upon  the  proper  letter, 
it  is  impossible  the  preceding  e  and  «  should  go  into  the  sound 
of  sh  ;  why,  therefore,  may  v;e  not  suppose  that  the  very  fro- 
quent  accentuation  of  the  penultimato  ■  before  a  final  vowel 
preserved  the  preceding  r  from  going  into  the  sound  of  sk,  at 
it  was  a  difference  of  accentuation  that  occasioned  this  im- 
pure sound  oft  in  the  Latin  language?  for  though  i  at  the  end 
of  words,  when  followed  by  a  long  vowel,  or  a  vowel  once 
long  and  afterwards  contracted,  had  always  the  accent  on  it 
in  Greek,  in  Latin  the  accent  was  alvrays  on  the  preceding 
syllable  in  words  of  this  termination  ;  and  hence  seems  to  ha\-e 
arisen  the  corruption  of  (  in  the  Gothic  pronunciation  of  tho 
Latin  language. 

It  is  highly  probable,  that  in  Lucian's  time  the  Grc-ek  r, 
when  followed  by  i  and  another  vowel,  had  not  assumed  the 
sound  of  <r  ;  for  the  Sigma  would  not  have  failed  to  accuse  him 
of  a  usurpation  of  her  powers,  as  he  had  done  of  her  character 
and  if  we  have  preserved  the  r  pure  in  this  situation  when  wo 
pronounce  Greek,  it  is,  perhaps,  rather  to  be  placed  to  tli« 
preserving  jKiwer  of  the  accented  i  in  so  great  a  number  ol 
words,  than  any  adherence  to  the  ancient  rules  of  pronuncia- 
tion ;  which  invariably  affirm  that  the  consonants  had  but 
one  sound  ;  unless  we  except  the  y  before  y,  k,  )(,  ^ ;  as  ayyc- 
Xof,  ayKvpa,  ay^lcra.  K.  t.  X.  where  the  y  is  sounded  like  »  ; 
but  this,  says  Henry  Stephens,  is  an  error  of  the  copyists,  who 
have  a  little  extended  the  bottom  of  the  ^,  and  made' a  y  of  it: 
for,  says  he,  it  is  ridiculous  to  suppose  that  v  was  changed 
into  y,  and  at  the  same  time  that  y  should  be  promnineed  like  v 


INTRODUCTION.

ference,  however,  with  very  few  ezceptioni,  does  not  extend 
to  proper  names  ;  which,  coraiag  to  ua  tlirough,  and  being 
mingled  with,  the  Latin,  fall  into  the  general  rule.  In  the 
same  manner,  though  in  Greek  it  wad  an  establiilied  maxim, 
that  if  the  last  syllable  was  long,  the  accent  could  scarcely  be 
higher  tlian  the  penultimate  ;  yet  in  our  pronunciation  of 
Greek,  and  particularly  of  proper  named,  the  Lulm  analogy 
ol  the  accent  is  adopted  :  and  though  thu  laut  syllablu  is  lung 
in  Demosthenes,  Jiristophanes,  TIteramenej),  and  DeipUube, 
yet,  as  the  penultimate  is  short,  the  accent  is  placed  on  the  an- 
tepenultimate, exactly  as  if  they  were  I^atin.* 

As  these  languages  have  been  long  dead,  they  admit  of  no 
new  varieties  of  accent  like  the  living  languages.  The  com- 
mon accentuation  of  Greek  and  Latin  may  bo  seen  in  Lexicons 
«nd  Graduses  ;  and  where  the  ancients  indulged  a  variety,  and 
the  moderns  are  divided  in  their  opinions  about  the  most  clas- 
sical accentuation  of  words,  it  would  bo  highly  impro[K!r,  in  a 
work  intended  for  general  use,  to  enter  into  the  thorny  disputes 
of  the  learned  ;  and  it  may  truly  be  said,  ia  the  rhyming  adage. 


On  the  contrary,  Pcaliger  says,  that  where  wo  find  a  v  be- 
fore these  letters,  as  avKvpa,  it  is  an  error  of  the  copyists,  who 
imagined  they  better  expressed  the  pronunciation  by  this  let- 
ter, which,  as  Vossius  observes,  should  seem  to  demand  some- 
thing particular  and  uncommon. 

It  is  reported  of  Scaliger,  that  when  ho  was  accosted  by  a 
Scotchman  in  Latin,  he  begged  his  pardon  for  not  understand- 
ing him,  as  ho  had  never  learned  the  Scotch  language.  If 
this  were  the  ease  with  the  pronunciation  of  a  ^otchman, 
which  is  so  near  that  of  the  coatinent,  what  would  he  have 
said  to  the  Latm  pronunciation  of  an  Englishman.'  I  take  it, 
lioweTer,  ikat  tkii  diversity  is  greatly  exaggerated.

among  our  pru«udiits,  I  have  consulted  the  best  authorities, 
and  have  sometiiues  venturf.-J  to  decide  :  though,  as  Labb«

RULES 

FOR  raONOUNCING  THE  VOWKLS  OF 

GREEK  AND  LATIN  PROPEH  NAMES. 


1.  EVERY  vowel  with  tho  arcnnt  on  it  al  tho  end  of  a 
syllable  is  prunouiiccd,  an  in  Kngliiihj  with  its  firnt  long  open 
■ound  :  tlni3  Ca  to,*  Philomela,  Orion,  I'ho'cion,  l.titifrr, 
&c.,  have  the  accented  vowcl.i  sounded  exactly  an  in  the  Kngliiili 
words  pa'pcr,  metre,  spider,  nu  hlc,  tutor,  &.c. 

2.  Every  accented  vowel  not  ending  a  syllulile,  but  followed 
by  a  consonant,  bos  tho  Hhort  houiuI  a.i  in  English  :  thus 
jkan'Uus,  Pcn'thcus,  Piii'darus,  Col'ehis,  Cur'tiu.i,  &.C.,  have 
the  short  sound  of  the  accented  vowels,  as  in  man'ncr,  plenty, 
prin'ter,  col'lar,  cur'few,  &c. 

3.  Every  final  i,  though  unaccented,  has  tho  loncf  open 
sound:  tliu^  the  fnial  i  forming  tho  genitive  case,  us  in  ma- 
gis'tri,  or  the  pUiriil  numlwr,  as  in  De'cii,  has  tiio  long  open 
sound,  as  in  vi'al ;  andtliis  sound  we  give  to  this  vowel  in  this 
silua* ion,  because  tho  Latin  (  final  in  genitives,  plurals,  and 
proterpevfect  tenses  of  verbs,  is  always  long  ;  and  conaeiiuent- 
Jy,  whore  tho  accented  t  is  followed  by  i  final,  both  are  pro- 
nounced with  the  long  diplitliongal  i,  like  the  noun  eye,  as 
jlchi'ci.t 

4.  Every  unaccented  i, ending  a  syllable  not  final,  as  that  in 
the  second  of  Alcibiadcs,  tlio  Uernici,  &c.,  is  pronounced  like 
e,  as  if  written  Alccbiade.^,  the  Ilcrneci,  &c.  So  the  last  syl- 
labls  but  one  of  the  Fabii,  the  Jloratii,  the  Curiatii,  &c.,  is 
pronounced  as  if  written  Fa-bc-i,  Ho-ra-shc-i,  Cii-re-a-she-i  ; 
and  therefore,  if  tho  unaccented  t  and  the  diphthong  a;  con- 
clude a  word,  they  arc  both  pronounced  like  e,  as  IlarpyitB, 
Har-py  e-e. 

5  The  diphthongs  (E  and  <E,  ending  a  syllable  with  the  accent 
on  it,  are  pronounced  exactly  like  the  long  English  e,  as  Ctcar, 
(Eta,  &.C.,  as  if  written  Cce'sar,K'ta,(i.c.  ;  and  like  the  short 
«,  when  followed  by  a  consonant  in  the  same  syllable,  as 
Dcedalus,  (Edipiis,  &.C.,  pronounced  as  if  written  Deddalus, 
Eddiptis,  &c.  Tho  vowels  ei  are  generally  pronounced  like 
long  i.f — For  tho  vowels  cu  in  final  syllables,  see  the  word 
looMENEVS  ;  and  for  the  ok  in  the  same  syllables,  see  the  word 
Antinoijs,  and  similar  words,  in  the  Terminational  Vocabu- 
lary. 

6.  y  is  exactly  under  the  same  predicament  as  i.  It  is  long 
when  ending  an  accented  syllable,  as  Cy  rus  or  when  ending 
an  unaccented  syllable,  if  final,  as  JE' ^y,  JE  py,  &c. ;  short 
when  joined  to  a  consonant,  in  the  same  syllable,  as  Lyc'idas ; 
and  sometimes  long  and  sometimes  short,  when  ending  an 
initial  syllable  not  under  the  accent,  as  Ly-curn-u:^,  pronounc- 
ed with  the  first  syllable  like  lie,  a  falsehood  ;  and  Lys-imachus, 
with  the  first  syllable  like  the  first  of  legion  ;  or  nearly  as  if 
divided  into  Lys-im' a-ckus ,  &c. 

7.  A,  ending  an  unaccented  syllable,  has  the  same  obscure 
sound  as  in  the  same  situation  in  English  words  ;  but  it  is  a 
sound  bordering  on  the  Italian  a,  or  the  a  in  fa-ther,  as  Dia'- 
na,  where  the  differouce  bet^veen  the  accented  and  unaccented 
a  is  palpable. 

8.  E  final,  either  with  or  without  the  preceding  consonant,

*  The  pronunciation  of  Cata,  Plato,  Cleopatra,  &c.  has  been 
bat  lately  adopted.  tinin,and  all  the  old  dramatic  school,  used 
to  pronounce  the  a  in  these  and  similar  words  like  the  a  in  fa- 
ther. Mr.  Garrick,  with  great  good  sense,  as  well  as  good  taste, 
brought  in  tho  present  pronunciation,  and  the  propriety  of  it 
lias  made  it  now  universal. 

t  This  is  the  true  onalogical  pronunciation  of  this  letter, 
when  ending  an  accented  syllable  ;  but  a  most  disgraceful 
affectation  of  toroign  pronunciation  has  exchanged  this  full 
diphthongal  sound  for  the  meagre,  squeezed  sound  of  the  French 
and  Italian  i,  not  only  in  almost  every  word  derived  from  tlioao 
languaies,  but  in  many  which  arc  purely  Latin,  as  Faugiina, 
Messalina,  &c.  Nay,  words  from  the  Aixon  have  been  equal- 
ly perverted,  and  we  hear  the  i  in  F.lfrida,  F.dirina,  ice.  turn- 
eli  into  Elfreeda,  Edireena,  &c.  It  is  true  this  is  the  so\md  the 
Romans  gave  to  their  i;  but  the  speakers  here  alluded  to  are 
perfectly  innocent  of  this,  and  do  not  |vronounce  it  in  this  man- 
ner for  Its  antiipiily,  but  its  novelty.

Creta  have  both  sunk  into  the  English  mononyllable  Crete  . 
Hecate,  likewise,  pronounced  in  three  syllables  when  Latin 
and  in  tho  same  number  in  tho  Greek  word  Ei(ar»;,  in  Eng 
lish  is  universally  contracted  into  two,  by  sinking  the 
finale.  Shakspearo  seems  to  have  be"un,  as  ho  has  now 
confirmed  this  pronunciation,  by  so  adapting  the  word  in 
Macbeth  : 

"  Why,  how  now,  llccat' .'  you  look  anjerly." — Act  IV. 
Perhaps  this  was  no  more  than  a  poetical  license  in  him  ;  bat 
the  actors  have  adopted  it  in  the  songs  in  this  tragedy : 

"/fe-cafe,  He-cate,  come  away" 

And  the  play-going  world,  who  form  no  small  portion  of 
what  is  called  the  better  sort  of  people,  have  followed  the 
actors  in  this  word,  and  the  rest  of  the  world  have  followed 
them. 

Tho  Roman  magistrate,  named  adilis,  is  Anglicised  by 
pronouncing  it  in  two  syllables,  ce'dile.  The  capital  ol 
Sicily,  SyracuscB,  of  four  syllables,  is  made  three  in  the  English

9.  C  and  g  are  hard  before  a,  o,  and  u,  as  Cato  Comns, 
Cures,  Giilba,  Oorgon,  &c.  ;  and  soft  before  e,  i,  and  y,  as 
Cebeg,  Scipio,  Scylla,  Cinna,  Oeryon,  Qela,  Oillus,  Oygu, 
Oymnosophijitie,  &c.$ 

10.  T,  s,  and  c,  before  ia,  ie.ii,  to,  ju,  and  eu,  preceded  by  the 
accent,  in  Latin  words,  as  in  English,  ciiange  into  eh  and  :A, 
as  Tatian,  Statiws,  Portiiis,  Portia,  Socias,  Caduceus,  Afcins, 
Helcetii,  jMo'Ma,  llesiod,  tec,  pronounced  Tashran,  Staaheus, 
PorsUeiLS,  Porshea,  Sosheas,  Cadxi^heus,  Aksheus,  Helveshei, 
J)fezhea,  Heihcod,  Jtc.  But  when  the  accent  is  on  the  first  of 
the  diphthongal  vowels,  the  preceding  consonant  docs  not  g 
into  o'A,  but  preserves  its  sound  pure,  as  Miltiades,  Antia- 
tes,  &c. 

11.  7' and  s,  in  proper  names,  ending  in  tia,  sin,  cyem,  and 
sion,  preceded  by  the  accent,  change  the  t  and  «  into  sh  and 
lA.  Thus  Photion,  Siryon,  and  Cereyon,  are  pronounced  ex- 
actly in  our  own  analogy,  as  if  written  Phoshean,  Sishean, 
and  Sershean  ;  Artemisia  and  Aspasin  sound  as  if  written 
Artemizhea  and  Aspa-.hea  :  Oalatia,  Aratia,  Alalia,  and  Ba- 
tia,  as  if  wiiUcn  Oalashea,  ArasheOjAloslea.  and  Bashea: 
and  if  Atia,  the  town  in  Campania,  is  not  so  pronounced,  it 
is  to  distinguish  it  from  Asia,  the  eastern  region  of  the  world. 


[The  author  is  inconsistent  with  himself  as  to  the  sound  of  n 
In  the  Terminational  Dictionary  (note  on  eia)  he  remarks  that 
the  ei  should  be  pronounced  like  double  f  long.  For  this  rea- 
son the  accent  has  been  placed,  in  the  following  pages,  on  the 
letter  e  in  all  cases  of  this  kind.    See  Asteius,  &.c.  Ed.] 

$  That  this  genera]  rule  should  be  violated  by  smatterers  in 
the  learned  languages,  in  such  words  as  <rymna.-<tir,  hrtercge- 
■neous,  &c.,  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  ;  but  that  men  of  rea. 
learning,  who  do  not  want  to  show  themselves  otTto  the  vulgar 
by  such  inuendix?s  of  their  erudition^  should  giv^e  into  this  ir- 
resularity,  is  really  surprising.  We  laugh  at  the  pedantry 
of  the  ace  of  James  the  First,  where  there  is  scarcely  a  page 
in  any  English  book,  that  is  not  sprinkled  with  twenty  Greek 
and  Latin  quotations  ;  and  yet  do  not  see  the  similar  pcdsntrj 
of  interlarding  our  pronunciation  with  Greek  and  Latin 
sounds  ;  which  may  be  affirmed  to  be  a  greater  perversion  of 
our  lansuage  than  tiie  former.  In  theonec.ise,the  introduction 
of  Greek  and  Latin  quotations  does  not  interfere  with  the 
En?lish  phraseology  ;  but  in  the  other  the  pronunciation  is 
disturbed,  and  a  motley  jargon  of  sounds  introduced,  as  incon- 
sistent with  true  taste  a?  <t  is  with  neatness  and  uuiformily. 


RULES  FOR  PRONOUNCLNG  GREEK  AND  LATIN  PROPER  NAME3.

But  the  termination  (ion  (of  wliich  there  are  not  even  twenty 
examples  in  propor  names  throughout  the  whole  Greek  anil 
L.atin  languages)  seems  to  preserve  the  t  from  goinj  into  ah, 
as  the  last  remnant  of  a  learned  [  ronunciatioii  ;  and  to  avoid, 
as  much  as  possible,  assimilating  with  so  vulgar  an  English 
termination:  thus,  though  ^sion,  Jasion,  DiuTiysion,  change 
the  3  into  i,  as  if  written  JEiion,  Jaiion,  Viuniziot,  the  i 
does  not  become  zA  ;  hut  PhilisUon,  Oration,  Hurytioit,  Do- 
don,  Androtion,  Nippotion,  Iphilion,  Ornytion,  Melion,  Poly- 
Uon,  Stration,  Sotion,  Kantian,  Pallanlion,  JEtion,  Hippo- 
ration,  and  Amphyction,  preserve  the  t  in  its  true  sound  ; 
Heph(Bstion,  However,  from  the  frequency  of  ap|)earing  with 
Alexander,  has  deserted  the  small  class  of  his  (ireek  compan- 
ions, and  joined  the  English  multitude,  oy  rhyming  with  ^um- 
tion  ;  and  Tatian  and  Theodulion  seem  perlcctly  Angllciied. 
With  very,  very  few  exceptions,  therefore,  it  may  be  conclud- 
ed, that  Greek  and  Latin  proper  names  are  pronounced  alike, 
and  that  both  of  them  follow  the  analogy  of  English  pronun- 
ciation. 

12.  Ch.  These  letters  before  a  vowel  are  always  pronounccJ 
like  k,  as  Chatn-ias,  Cholchis,  ice. ;  but  when  they  come  liefore 
a  mute  consonant  at  the  beginning  of  a  word,  as  in  Chthonia, 
they  are  mute,  and  the  word  is  pronounced  as  if  written 
7'Aonia.  Words  beginning  with  Sche,  as  Schcditu,  Scheria, 
&c.,  are  pronounced  as  if  written  Skediiis,  Skeria,  &c.  ; 
and  c  before  n  in  the  Latin  prsenomcn  Cneiu  or  Cnauj  is 
mute  ;  so  in  Cnopus,  Cno^us,  &.C.,  and  tx-'fore  (  in  Clratus, 
and  jf  before  n  in  Onidus  ;  pronounced  J^opiia,  JVosus,  Teattui, 
and  JVidus. 

13.  At  the  beginning  of  Greek  words  we  frequently  find 
the  uncombinable  consonants  mn,  tni,  &.C.,  as  Mnemosynt, 
Mnesidamus,  Mneus,  Mnesteas,  Tmolus,  &c.  These  are  to 
be  pronounced  with  the  first  consonant  mute,  as  if  written 
JVeinosyne,  JVe^idamus  JVciis,  JVesteits,  Mulas,  &c.,  in  the 
same  manner  as  we  pronounce  the  words  bdelltum,  pneumat- 
ic, gnomon,  mnemonics.  Sec,  without  the  initial  consonant. 
The  same  may  be  observed  of  the  c  hard,  like  k,  wh>>n  it 
comes  before  t ;  as  Cte-nphon,  Ctesippus,  &c.  Some  of  these 
words  we  see  sometimes  written  with  an  e  or  i  after  the  first 
consonant,  as  Mcnesteus,  Timolus,  See,  and  then  the  initial 
consonant  is  pronounced. 

14.  Ph,  followed  by  a  consonant,  is  mute,  as  Phlhia,  Phthi- 
otis,  pronounced  Tliia,  T/iiott.f,  in  the  same  manner  as  the 
naturalized  Greek  word  phtkisic,  pronounced  tisic, 

15.  Ps :  p  Is  mute  also  in  this  combination,  as  in  Psyche, 
PsammetickUrS,  &.c  ,  pronounced  Syke,  Sammeticus,  &.c. 

10.  Pt  :  p  is  mute  in  words  beginning  with  these  letters 
when  followed  by  a  vowel,  as  Ptolemy,  Pterila-s,  &c.,  pro- 
nounced Tolemy,  Terilas,  &c. ;  but  when  foliowcrl  by  /,  the  ( 
is  heard,  as  in'/Vep'yZcmu^  :  for,  though  we  have  no  words  of 
our  own  with  these  initial  consonants,  we  have  many  words 
that  end  with  them,  and  they  are  certainly  pronounced.  The 
Eame  may  be  obsorvod  of  the  i  in  Zmiiaces. 

17.  The  letters  s,  z,  and  z,  require  but  little  observation, 
being  generally  pronounced  as  in  pure  English  words.  It 
may,  however,  be  remarked,  that  s,  at  the  end  of  words,  pre- 
ceded by  any  of  the  vowels  but  e,  has  its  pure  hissing  sound  ; 
as  mas,  dis,  os,  tnus,  ice.  ;  but  when  e  piecedes,  it  goes  into 
the  sound  of  i  ;  as  pc.<,  Thersites,  i:ates,  &c.  It  may  aho  be 
observed,  that  when  it  ends  a  word  preceded  by  r  or  ii,  it  has 
the  sound  of  i.  Thus  the  letter  s  in  mens,  .Mars,  mors,  &.C., 
has  the  same  sound  us  in  the  English  wonls  heiiS,  stars,  rears, 
&c.  X,  when  beginning  a  word  or  Byllable,  is  pronounced 
like  : ;  as  Xerzes,  Xenophon,  l!i.c.,i\tii  prononnceil  7,erk'.es, 
Xtnophon,  &c.  Z  is  uniformly  pronounced  ns  in  English 
words:  thus  the  i  in  Zcno  and  Zeugma  13  pronounced  as  wo 
bear  it  in  zeal,  zone,  &c. 

Rules  for  ascerlaininsc  the  Em^lish    Quantity  of  Grctk 
and  Latin  Pn/per  Names. 

18.  It  may  at  first  be  observed,  that  in  words  of  two  sylla- 
bles, with  but  one  consonant  in  the  middle,  wimtevcr  lie  the 
quantity  of  the  vowel  in  the  first  syllable  in  Greek  or  Lat- 
in, we  always  make  it  long  in  English:  thusCrfltM, the  philoso- 
pher, and  crates,  a  hurdle  ;  decus,  honor, uiid  dedo,  to  give  up  ; 
oco,  to  triumph,  and  ovum,  an  egg  ;  jVuina,  Ihi'  li'iiislator,  and 
JV'umen,  the  divinity,  have  the  lirst  vowid  «lway«  sciuniled 
equally  long  by  an  English  sjieaker,  althuush  in  Latin  the 
first  vowel  in  the  first  word  of  each  of  those  pairs  is  short.* 

19.  On  the  contrary,  words  of  three  syll«ble-<,  with  the  ac- 
cent on  the  first,  and  with  but  one  consonant  aflrr  the  first  syl- 
lable, have  that  syllable  pronounced  siiorl,  li'l  the  (Jreck  or 
Latin  quantity  bo  what  it  will ;  thus  regulus  and  rrmiirn,  miini- 
cus  and  minium,  are  hoard  with  the  first  vowi'l  short  in  English 
pronunciation.  Ihoush  the  first  words  of  each  pair  liavo 
ilieir  first  syllables  long  in  Latin:  and  the  u  in  famigo  and 
fugito  is  pronounced  long  in  both  words,  though  in  Latin  the 
last  u  is  short.  This  rule  is  never  broken  hut  when  the  first 
evllahlo  is  followed  by  e  or  i,  followed  by  another  vowel :  in 
tills  case  the  vowel  in  the  first  svllahlo  is  long,  except  that 
vowel  be  i:  thus  lamia,  gettiu-s,  Libya,  docrn,  cupio,  hiivo  tlio 
accent  on  the  first  gyllalilo,  and  this  syllable  is  protiounced 


*7he  only  word  occurring  to  mc  at  present,  wlicro  tbii 
rule  's  not  obsen-ed,  i«    canon,   a   rule,  which  ii  niwajr* 


long  in  every  word  but  Libya,  though  in  the  original  it  in 
equally  short  in  all. 

20.  It  must  have  frequently  occurred  to  thow  who  imstruct 
vouth,  that  though  the  Quantity  uf  the  accf-nted  syllable  of 
long  proper  names  has  been  eujily  conveyed,  yet  that  tbe 
cuantity  of  the  prcccUine  unacconled  syllables  ha<  occasioned 
some  embarrassment.  An  appeal  to  tho  laws  of  our  own  lan- 
guage would  soon  have  removed  the  perplexity,  and  enabM 
us  to  pronounce  the  initial  unaccented  syllables  with  as  much 
decision  as  the  otiicra.  Thus  every  accented  antepenult  iioat^ 
vowel  but  u,  even  when  followed  by  one  consonant  only,  i«,  m 
our  pronunciation  of  Latin,  oji  well  as  in  Engluh,  short :  lhu< 
fabula,  separo,  ditigo,nobdis,  cuiumu,  have  the  first  «owelj 
pronounced  as  in  the  Ei.gliah  woTtit  capital,  ctUbrute,ttmiynf, 
solitude,  luealent,  in  direct  op)>utilion  to  the  Latin  iiu:iiititr, 
which  makes  every  antepenultimate  vowel  in  all  \l;t^'-  «ijril» 
but  the  last  long  ;  and  this  tee  pronounce  Ion;:,  '  '  :  io 
Latin.  But  if  a  semi-consonant  iliphthong  si  rjr 
such  vowel  is  long  but  i,  in  our  pronunciutiun  <•:  .,  < 
and  KuganeiLi,  Kugema,filxus,futium,  dubia,  iltm'  ii.-  ..pv«c1 
in  the  ante|ionultiinatc  syllable  pronounced  exactly  as  in  the 
English  words  satiate,  menial,  deltnuiLt,  nutifrw^s,  penuriom  • 
though  they  are  all  short  in  I^iin  but  the  i,  which  we  pro- 
nounce short,  though  in  the  Latin  it  is  long. 

21.  The  same  rule  of  quantity  takes  place  in  those  lylluble* 
which  have  the  secondary  accent :  for.  as  wo  pronounce  lank, 
enlalion,  demonstration,  diminution,  duminatwn,  lueubralion^ 
with  every  vowel  in  the  first  •yllablo  short  but«,io«i-  pro- 
nounce the  same  vowels  in  the  same  manner  in  lamrntatAo,  Jem~ 
onslratio,  diminutw,dominalw,atul  lueubratio :  but  if  a  krmi- 
consonaiit  diphthong  succi-ed  the  M-condary  accent,  a«  in  .f  rio- 
riitus,  tieliodorus,  Oabinianus,  Jlerodianus,  and  fulusiamut, 
every  vowel  preceding  the  diphthong  if  long  but  i ;  jiul  at  wo 
should  pronounce  these  vowels  in  the  English  words  amioMitjp, 
mediatorial,  propitiation,  ezeonation,  centunator,  tc. 

Hi.  Hut  to  reduce  these  rules  into  a  smaller  compass,  that 
they  may  lie  more  easily  comprehended  and  remembered,  it 
may  lie  observed,  that,  as  we  always  shorten  every  antepe- 
nultimate vowel  with  the  primary  accent  but  u,  unless  iVdlow- 
ed  by  a  semi-con'onant  diphthuiig,  though  this  antejienulli- 
mato  vowel  is  often  long  in  Greek  and  l..at!n,  as  .Xschylus. 
JEschines,  &c.,  and  the  antepenultimate  i,  even  though  it  bt 
fi)llowed  by  such  a  diphthong,  as  AVru.<iiiid,  Oeritm,  ic. — io 
we  shorten  the  first  syllable  of  ^C^ru/apiiu,  ^nobarbus,  &c., 
Iiocause  the  first  sj  liable  of  both  these  words  has  the  srcnidarf 
accent :  but  we  pronounce  the  same  vowels  long  in  .Kthwpia, 
JEgialeus,  Haliarlw,  kc,  because  this  accent  is  followed  by 
a  semi-consonant  diphthong. 

2^1.  This  rule  sometimes  holds  good  where  a  muta  and  liquid 
intervene,  and  determines  the  first  syllabic  of  Adrian, .Idriatic^ 
&.C. ;  to  be  long  tike  ay,  and  not  short  like  add:  and  it  is  on 
this  analogical  division  of  the  words,  so  little  under<too<l  or 
attended  to,  that  a  perfect  ami  a  consistent  pronunciation  of 
them  depends.  It  is  this  analogy  that  determines  the  firiil  m 
to  he  long  in  slupidus,  and  the  y  short  in  eUjpea,  though  Uith 
are  short  in  the  Latin  ;  and  the  o  in  the  first  syllable  of  Curio 
lanus,  which  is  short  in  Latin,  to  be  long  in  English. 

24.  The  necessity  of  attending  to  the  quantity  of  the  \T)wel 
in  the  accented  syllable  has  sometimes  protluced  a  division  of 
words  in  tho  following  Vocabulary  that  does  not  seem  to  coiv 
vey  the  actual  pronuncjation.  Thus  tho  w.->rd»  Sulpitius,  .lui- 
cium,  Artemisium,  &.C.,  being  di\ided  into  Sul-pit  i-uj,  .i-nit'- 
i-um,  Ar-te-mis'i-um,kr.,  we  fancy  the  syllable  after  the  ncc.it 
deprived  of  a  consomnt  closely  united  with  it  in  souii'',  and 
which,  from  such  a  union,  derives  an  aspirato<l  sonm'  c.|uiv*. 
lent  to  sh.  But  as  the  soiinit  of  (,  r,  or  .'•,  in  this  Ki'iialion  i<

either  t)V  nil  alteration  of  the  lottcrn,  or  tiy  cutting  off  the 
latter  RyllnlilcR,  the  accent  of  the  original,  as  in  ap|Mjllnlivea 
under  the  flame  predicament,  is  transferred  nearer  to  the 
lx<i;inniiig  of  the  worrl.  Thim  Proserpina  lius  tho  occeiil  on 
tho  iiecond  flvlluhlo  ;  hut  when  uttered  to  Proserpine,  it  Iraim- 
fer»  the  accent  to  the  firfil.  'J'he  name  may  lie  ohaerved  of 
Homeru.1,  yirgiliiui,  JloraUiui,li.c.  when  Angliciiod  io  Ilumer, 
Virgil,  Horace,  &c. 

20.  An  it  18  not  very  easy,  therefore,  so  it  in  not  nocensary 
to  ilccide  whoro  doctors  disagree.  When  reasons  lie  deep  in 
Greek  and  Latin  etymolooy,  tho  current  pronunciation  will 
bo  followed,  let  the  learneif  do  all  they  can  to  hinder  it :  thu«, 
after  Uijperion  has  been  accented  by  our  bos',  poets,  according 
to  our  own  analogy,  with  tho  accent  on  tho  antepenultimate, 
ai  Shakspoare : 

"  Ilype'rion^s  curls,  the  front  of  Jovo  himanlf.' ' — Hamlet. 

" that  was  to  this 

Hype'rion  to  a  satyr."     Ibid. 

" next  day  afler  dawn. 

Doth  rise  and  help  Htjpc'rion  to  his  horse  " — Henry  Vlh. 
So  Cooke,  in  his  translation  of  Hcsiod's  Thergony,  follows  the 
accentualion  of  Shaksjioarc : 

"  Hyperion  and  Japhet,  brothers,  join  : 
Thea  and  Rhea  of  this  ancient  lino 
Descend  ;  and  Themis  boasts  the  source  divine." 

"The  fruits  of  TViia  and  Hyperion  rise. 
And  with  refuls;ent  lustre  light  the  skies  " 
After  this  established  pronunciation,  I  say,  how  hopeless,  as 
well  as  useless,  would  it  bo  to  attempt  the  ptnultimate  accen- 
tuation, which  yet  ought  undoubtedly  to  be  |  reserved  in  read- 
ing or  speaking  Greek  or  Latin  compositionii  ,  but,  in  reading 
,or  speaking  English,  must  be  left  to  those  -who  would  rather 
.appear  learned  than  judicious.  But  Acrion,  Arion,  Amphion, 
Echion^  Orion,  Izion,  Pandion,  Asion,  Alphion,  .SCrion, 
Ophion,  Metkion,  Aiion,  Eton,  Thlezion,  and  Sandion,  pre- 
.jerve  their  penultimate  accent  invariably  :  while  Ethalion,  a 
word  of  the  same  form  and  origin,  is  pronounced  with  the 
accent  on  the  antepenultimate,  like  Deucalion,  and  Pyn-ma- 
Mon:  and  this,  if  I  mistake  not,  is  the  comin  <n  pronunciation 
of  a  ship  in  the  British  navy,  so  called  from  the  name  of  one 
of  the  Argonauts,  who  accompanied  Jason  in  his  expedition 
to  Colchis  to  fetch  the  jolden  fleece. 

30.  The  same  difficulty  of  deciding  between  corarnon  usage 
and  classical  propriety  appears  in  words  e  iding  in  ia,  as 
Alexandria,  Antiochia,  Seleucia,  Samaria,  Jphigenia,  and 
several  others,  which  were  pronounced  by  i  ur  ancestors,  as 
appears  from  their  poetry,  according  to  our  own  analogv, 
with  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate  syllable  ;  and  there  is 
no  doubt  but  every  word  of  this  form  would  have  fallen  into 
the  same  accentuation,  if  classical  criticism  had  not  stepped 
in  and  prevented  it.  A  philosophical  grammarian  would  be 
apt  to  think  we  are  not  much  obliged  to  schol  irs  for  this  inter- 
ruption of  tlie  vernacular  current  of  pronunciation  ;  but,  as 
there  is  to  plausible  a  plea  as  that  of  reducing  words  to  their 


original  tanfuagei,  and  a*  a  knowledge*  of  thcw  lanfuofM 
will  alwayi  Iw  an  hoiiorsblu  dialinction  among  m-.— .,  ii  la

tiiiuo  in  thnir  plain,  hoiiiofpuii  Kngliali  dren.  Thia  critical 
corrnction,  howuvnr,  aomiia  to  hnvc  coino  too  lute  for  •oiiia 
worila,  which,  on  rojin  nipreaaea  it,  liuvii  "  alid  into  verwi," 
and  taken  (toaacaaion  of  our  eara  j  and  therefore,  pf-iliapa, 
the  Ix-al  way  of  diap<i«iii(  of  ihein  will  Iw  to  conaidor  lliem  aa 
the  ancioiita  did  the  ijunntity  of  certain  doulitful  aylhihlit, 
and  to  pronounce  them  either  way.  bunie,  however,  »<-<;in 
always  to  have  preaorvod  the  accent  iif  their  original  Irin 
gnage,  as  Thalia  and  SuplUa :  but  Jplugrnia,  AnluKhia 
Sclcucia,  and  Samana,  navo  generally  yielded  to  tho  l-.rjijluh 
ante(K,'nultimato  acreiil  ;  aiul  Krythia,  Dridamia,  Lainlumia 
Hippodamia,  Apamia,  Ildhyia,  and  On/Ayia,  from  their 
seldom  ap|K'ttriiig  in  mere  Kngliah  comprniiion,  have  not 
often  b<;eii  drawn  uaide  into  plain  Kngiioh  pronunciation. 
The  same  may  lie  oliaervcd  of  worda  eniling  in  ni^iu,  or  nue  t 
if  they  are  compound<.-d  of  tho  Greek  1-1*17,  tho  [wnulliinala 
syllable  is  always  lung,  and  muit  have  tho  accent,  aa  Slralo- 
;<iciu,  Berenice^  Uc.  ;  if  thia  termination  be  what  ia  called  a 
gentile,  signifying  a  man  by  hia  country,  tho  pcnultim.ite  ii 
short,  and  the  accent  is  on  the  antepenultimate  ;  aa  Maredon- 
icun,  Sardoniciu,  Britannicus,  Sec.     Hce  AnDBoiaict/l. 

31.  Thus  we  see  many  of  these  protier  names  are  ofdubioni 
accentuation  ;  and  the  authorities  which  may  be  pr<Kiii'*d  oo 
both  sides  sutiicienlly  show  us  the  inutility  of  criticising  b»- 
yond  a  certain  point.  It  is  in  these  on  in  many  Kngliih  worda : 
there  aro  some  which,  if  mispronounced,  immediately  show  a 
want  of  education  ;  and  there  are  others  which,  though  not 
pronounced  in  tho  most  erudite  manner,  stamp  no  imputatioa 
of  ignorance  or  illiteracy.  To  have  a  general  knowledge,  ihero 
fore,  of  the  pronunciation  of  these  words,  seems  ab.vjiulely 
necessary  for  those  who  would  appear  respectable  in  the  more 
respectable  part  of  society.  Perliups  no  people  on  earth  are 
so  correct  in  the  accentuation  of  proper  iiamen  as  the  learned 
among  the  English.  The  Fort-Royal  Grammar  informs  ua, 
that,  "  notwithstanding  all  the  rules  that  can  bo  given,  we  are 
often  under  the  necessity  of  submitting  to  custom,  and  of 
accommodating  our  pronunciation  to  what  is  received  among 
the  learned  according  to  the  country  we  are  in."  "Sowa 
pronounce,"  says  the  grammarian,  "  Aristo  bulus,  Basi  lius, 
Idolinm,  with  the  accent  on  tho  antepenultimate,  though  the 
penultimate  is  long,  because  it  is  the  custom  :  and,  on  the 
contrary,  we  pronounce  Andre'as,  idea,  Mari'a,  &c.,  with 
tho  accent  on  the  penultimate,  though  it  is  short,  because  it 
is  the  custom  of  the  most  learned.  The  Italians,"  continues 
he,  "place  the  accent  on  the  penultimate  of  antonomasi  a, 
harmoni  a,  philosophi'a,  theolo^'a,and  similar  words,  accord- 
ing to  tho  Greek  accent,  because,  as  Riccio.'ius  obseries,  it  ig 
tho  custom  of  their  country.  Alvarez  and  Gretser  Ih'nk  we 
ought  always  to  pronounce  them  in  this  manner,  though  tho 
custom,  not  only  of  Germany  and  Spain,  but  of  all  France,  is 
against  it:  but  Nebrissensis  authorizes  this  last  pronunciation, 
and  says,  that  it  is  better  to  place  the  accent  of  these  vowels 
on  the  antepenultimate  syllable  ;  which  shows,"  concludes 
the  grammarian,  "  that  when  we  once  depart  from  the  ancient 
rules,  we  have  but  little  certainty  in  practice,  which  ia  so 
dirt'erent  in  different  countries." 

But  however  uncertain  and  desultory  the  accentuation  of 
many  words  may  be,  it  is  a  great  satisfaction  to  a  speaker  to 
know  that  they  are  so.  There  is  a  wide  difference  between 
pronouncing  wor.is  of  this  kind  ignoranlly  and  knowingly. 
A  person  who  knows  that  scholars  themselves  differ  in  tiiS 
pronunciation  of  these  words  can  always  pronounce  with 
security  :  but  one  who  is  unacquainted  with  the  state  of  the 
accent  is  not  sure  that  he  is  right  when  he  really  is  so,  and 
always  pronounces  at  his  peril. 


%*  It  is  hoped  the  candid  peruser  of  this  work  vill  make 
allowances  for  an  occasional  error  in  dividing  a  syllable  or 
placing  an  accent,  when  he  rejleets  on  the  dtficuUy  with  which 
such  a  work  mast  necesaarHy  bt  attended.     The  author  JUU- 


ters  himself,  however,  that  such  attentum  has  been  paid  both 
to  the  compilation  and  the  proofs,  that  the  ftwtst  errors  ini- 
aginable  have  escaped  him .

*»*  Wlvin  a  word  is  succeeded  by  a  word  printed  in  Italici, 
the  latter  word  is  merely  to  ep«ll  the  former  as  it  ought  to  bo 
pronounced  Thus  Ahansheas  is  the  true  pronunciation  of  the 
preceding  word  Jibanlias  .-  and  so  of  the  rest. 

***  The  figures  annexed  to  the  words  refer  to  the  Uulea 
prefixed  to  the  work.  Thus  the  figure  3  after  Jichai  rotem  to 
Eule  the  3d,  for  the  pronunciation  of  the  final  i ;  and  tlie  figure 


4  aflor  Aba  refers  to  Rule  tbe  ¥h.  for  the  prrmanfutioo  oI'Lbs 
unaccented  i,  not  final  :  and  to  of  tlt«  rml. 

*»♦  When  the  letti-m  F.ng.  are  put  after  a  word,  it  ii  to 
show  that  thin  word  is  tho  prifiijing  word  Angliciwd.  'I'liua

we  do  in  water,  and  the  e  as  wo  he.ir  it  in  jr Acre  and  there  ; 
the  middle  or  mixt  sound,  then,  would  be  like  a  In  father, 
•vhich  was  probably  tho  sound  they  gave  to  this  diphthong. 

*  JBEgis  —This  diphthong,  though  long  in  Greek  and  Lat- 
in, is  in  English  pronunciation  either  long  or  short,  accord- 
ing to  '.he  accent  or  position  of  it.  Thus,  if  it  immediately 
precedes  the  accent,  as  in  Jidrru-s,  or  with  tho  accent  on  it. 
Before  a  single  consonant,  in  a  word  of  two  syllables,  it 
ia  long,  as  in  ^nis;  before  two  consonants  it  is  short,  as 
in  ^^nlrs  ;  or  before  one  only,  if  tho  accent  be  on  the  an- 
tepenultimate, as  in  ^ropus. — For  tho  exceptions  to  this  rule, 
me  Rule  1£2. 

t  One  of  tho  generals  of  Valentinian  the  Third  ;  which, 
Labho  tells  us,  ought  properly  to  be  written  ^rtius :  that 
H,  without  tho  diphthong.  V^e  may  observe,  that  as  this 
word  comes  from  the  Greek,  but  is  Latinized,  it  is  pronounced 
with  tho  t  like  sh,  as  -f  writlnn  ^^shius  ;  but  tho  preceding 


word  ^^tion,  being  pure  Greek,  does  not  conform  to  this  anal 
ogy. — See  Kule  the  Illh  and  a^lh. 

J  Alcinous. — There  are  no  words  more  frequently  mispro- 
nounced by  a  mere  English  scholar  than  those  of  this  tormina 
tion.  By  such  a  one  we  sometimes  hear  .Slcinous  and  Ominous 
pronounced  in  three  syllables,  as  if  written  jil-ei-nuuz  and  .in- 
(i-n<rui,  rhyming  with  rows:  but  classical  pronunciation  re- 
quires that  these  vowels  should  form  distinct  syllables.

rising  out  of  the  water,  ia  applied  to  tbo  nirluro  of  Vnnua 
risins  out  of  the  aea,  as  originally  painted  by  A|h'II<'i.  I  doubt 
not  that  some,  who  only  hear  thia  word,  without  xK-iiig  it  writ- 
ten, suppoao  it  to  moan  Anno  Domini,  tho  year  of  our  Lord.

* Artliochia. — For  words  of  this  termination,  «ee  Iphioe- 
«ii,and  No.  30  of  the  Rules  prefixed  to  this  Vocabulary. 

\  Apotheosis. — When  we  are  reading  Latin  or  Greek,  this 
MTord  ought  to  have  the  accent  on  the  penultimate  syllable  ; 
but  '.n  pronouncing  English,  we  should  accent  the  antepcnulti- 
naie: 

Allots  the  prince  of  his  celestial  line 
An  apotheosis  and  rites  divine. — Gabth. 

XArbaces. — Lempriere,  Gouldman,  Gesner,  and  Littleton, 
accent  this  word  on  the  first  syllable,  but  Ainsworth  and  IIoI- 
yokc  on  the  second  ;  and  this  is  so  much  more  agreeable  to  an 
English  ear,  that  I  should  prefer  it,  though  I  have,  out  of  re- 
spect to  authorities,  inserted  the  other,  tliat  the  reader  may 
choose  which  he  pleases.     Labbo  has  not  got  this  word. 

^Arbela,  the  city  of  Assyria,  where  the  decisive  battle  was 
Tought  l)ctwecn  Alexander  and  Darius,  and  the  city  in  Pales- 
tine of  that  name,  have  the  accent  on  the  penultimate  ;  but 
<4r{»i;a,  a  towa  jn  Sicily,  baa  the  accent  on  the  antepenulti- 
mate syllable 
,   \\.hchidiimiL3. — Ainsworth,  Gouldman,  Littleton,  and  Hol- 


yoke,  place  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate  syllable  of  thii 
word,  but  Lempriere  and  Labbe  on  the  penultimate.  I  hat« 
followed  Lempriere  and  Labbc,  though,  in  ray  opinion,  wrong  ; 
for,  as  every  word  of  this  termination  has  tho  antcpenultimaia 
accent,  as  Folydamas,  Theodumas,  kc^,  I  know  not  why  Ihu 
should  bo  different.  Though  Labbe  tells  us,  that  the  learned 
are  of  his  opinion. 

V  Areopacrus. — Labbe  tells  us,  that  the  penultimate  syllable 
of  this  word  is  beyond  all  controversy  short— quidquid  nonnulli 
in  tanti  luce  etiamnum  cscutiant. — Some  of  these  blind  men 
are,  Gouldman,  Holyoke  and  Li'tleton  ; — but  Lempriere  and 
Ainsworth,  the  best  authorities,  agree  with  Labbe. 

**  Argivfs. — I  have  observed  a  strong  propensity  in  acbool' 
boys  to  pronounce  the  g  in  those  words  hard,  as  in  the  Englialt 
word  CTir«.  This  is,  undoubtedly,  because  their  masters  do  *o  • 
and  they  will  tell  us,  that  the  Greek  iramma  should  always  b% 
pronounced  hard  in  the  words  from  that  language.  W  bat 
then,  must  we  alter  that  long  catalogue  of  words  where  thia 
letter  occurs,  as  in  OeritMj,  ^etiius,  Diogenes,  >Xgypl>u,  6iC  . 
— The  aucstion  answers  itscif.

•  Bcllerus. — All  our  lexicographers  unite  in  giving  this 
word  the  antepenultimate  accent :  but  Milton  seems  to  have 
aanctioned  the  pennliiniato,  aa  much  more  agreeable  to  Eng- 
Uah  ears,  in  his  Lycidas  : 

"Or  whether  ttiou,  to  our  moist  vows  denied, 
Sleep'st  by  the  fa  ile  o{  Belltrvs  old." 
Though  it  must  be  acknowledged  that  Milton  has  in  this  word 
4lMetted  the  claaaical  Dronunciatioo  jet  hit  authority  is  suffi- 


cient to  make  aa  acquieKe  in  hit  accentuation  in  the  above- 
mentioned  pastage. 

t  Bianor — I/Cmpriere  accenta  thia  word  on  the  first  sylla 
ble  ;  but  Labbe,  Ainsworth,  G^uMman,  and  Holyobc,  on  lh« 
aecond  ;  and  these  agree  with  Virgil,  Eel.  ix.  t.  CO. 

J  Brit&nes. — Labbe  tella  us  that  this  word  ia  gomeiimet 
pronounced  with  the  penulliroate  accent,  but  mort  frequenllf 
with  the  aDteoenultimaie.

*  Chea. — The  ch  in  this,  and  all  words  from  the  Greek  and 
Latin,  must  be  pronounced  like  k. 

t  Charmione. — Drydon,  in  his  tragedy  of  ^11  for  Lore,  has 
Anslicised  this  word  into  Charmion  ; — the  ck  pronounced  as  iu 
tkarin. 

'I  Ckryaaor. — Then  started  ont,  when  yon  began  to  bleed. 
The  great  Chrysaor,  and  the  gallant  fteeil 
CooKB'a  Hesiod.  Theos. 


5  Cleomenes. — There  is  an  unaccountable  caprice  in  Dryden't 
accentuation  of  this  word,  in  opposition  to  all  prosody  ;  for 
through  the  whole  tragedy  of  this  title  he  piaccs  the  accent  on 
the  penultimate  instead  of  the  antepenultimate  syllable. 

II  Cleopatra. — Th5  learned  editor  of  Labl)e  tells  us  this  word 
ought  to  be  pronounced  with  the  accent  on  the  antcpenaltiuiate, 
Cle-opa-tra,  though  the  penultimate  accentuation,  be  says,  i* 
the  more  common

•  Erytlua. — 

'  Chrysaor,  Love  the  guide,  Calliroe  led, 
Daughter  of  Ocean,  to  the  genial  bodj 
\Vhence  Geryon  sprung,  fierce  with  his  triple  head  ; 
Whom  Hercules  laid  breathless  on  the  ground 
In  Erythea,  which  the  waves  surround." 

Cooke's  Hesiod.   Theog.  v.  523. 

t  Eumenes. — It  is  not  a  little  surprising  the.t  so  elegant  a 
writer  as  Hughes  should,  througbout  llio  whole  tragedy  of  the 
&e^e  of  Damascus,  accent  this  word  on  the  poiiultimato  syl- 
lable ■    especially  as  there  is  not  a  single  proper  name,  of 


more  than  two  syllables,  in  the  Greek  or  Latin  languages  oi 
this  termination,  which  has  the  penultimate  syllable  ang 
Lee  has  done  the  same  in  the  tragedy  of  Alexander,  whicl 
would  load  us  to  suppose  there  is  something  naturally  repug 
nant  to  an  English  ear  in  the  antepenultimate  accentuation  of 
these  words,  and  something  agreeable  in  the  penultimate. 

J  Euthalia. — Labhe  obsen-cs,  that  this  word  does  not  come 
from  the  muse  Thalia,  as  gome  suppose,  but  from  the  mascu- 
line Eulhaiius,  as  F.ulatia,  Eumtnia,  Eustolia,  Eutropia,  Evt- 
melia,  &c.,  which  are  prof^sedly  accented  un  the  anlepenal- 
timate See  Rule  29.

*  Hippocrene. — Nothing  can  be  better  established  than  the 
pronunciation  of  this  word  in  four  syllables  according  to  its 
original ;  and  yet  such  is  the  license  of  English  poets,  that  they 
«ot  Hnfret^uently  contract  it  to  three.  Thus  Cooke,  llesiod. 
Theog.  V.  9. 

"  And  now  to  Hippocrene  resort  the  fair ; 
Or,  Olmius,  to  thy  sacred  spring  repair." 
And  a  late  translator  of  the  Satires  of  Peraius : 
"  Never  did  I  so  much  aa  sip, 
Or  wet  with  Hippocrene  a  lip." 
Thia  contraction  is  inexcusable,  as  it  tenda  to  embarrass  pro- 
nunciation, and  lower  the  language  of  poetry. 

t  Hvbreas. — Lempriere  accenta  this  word  on  the  penultimate 
syllable  ;  but  Labbe,  Gouldmao,  and  Holyoke,  more  properly, 
•n  the  antepenultiraats. 

J  lapttus.—"  Son  of  rdpetus,  o'er-aubtle,  go, 

And  glory  ia  thy  artful  theft  below." 

Cooke'*  HeMod. 

5  Idea. — This  word,  as  a  proper  name,  I  find  in  no  lexicog- 
rapher but  Lempriero.  The  English  appellative,  signifying  an 
image  in  the  mind,  has  uniformly  the  accent  on  the  second 
«y liable,  as  in  the  Greek  ifia,  inopposition  to  the  Latin,  which 
we  generally  follow  in  other  cases,  and  which,  in  this  »ord, 
nas  the  penultimate  short,  in  .\insworth,  Labbe,  and  our  best 
prosodiats  ;  and,  according  to  this  analogy,  idea  ought  to  have 
..be  accent  on  the  first  syllable,  and  that  ayllable  short,  as  tbo 


I 


first  o{ idiot.  But  when  this  word  is  a  proper  name,  aa  the 
daughter  of  Oardanus.  I  should  suppose  it  ought  to  fall  into 
the  general  analogy  of  pronouncing  Greek  names,  not  by  ac 
cent,  but  by  quantity  :  and,  therefore,  that  it  ought  to  have  the 
accent  on  the  first  syllable  ;  and,  according  to  our  ow.i  analo 
gy,  that  syllabic  ought  to  be  short,  unless  the  penultimate  ia 
the  Greek  is  a  diphthong,  and  then ,  according  to  general  usage, 
it  ought  to  have  the  accent. 

II  Idomeneus. — The  termination  of  nouns  in  eus  was,  among 
the  ancients,  sometimes  pronounced  in  two  syllables,  and  some- 
times, as  a  diphthong,  in  one.  Thus  Labbe  tclU  us,  that 
Achille\)s,  A^yleiis,  Phalareils,  Apsirterls,  are  pronounced 
commonljr  in  four  svllables,  and  jVerH/5,  Orpheils,  Porte^is, 
Tercets,  m  three,  with  the  ponultirpatc  syllable  short  in  all ; 
but  that  these  words,  when  in  verse,  have  generally  the  dipb 
thong  preserved  in  one  syllable  : 
"  Eumcnidum  veluti  demena  videt  agmina  Pentheus."  Vi»o. 
he  observes,  however,  that  the  Litin  poeta  very  fre<;uentl» 
dissolved  the  diphthong  into  two  syllables: 

"  Naiadum  c<Etu,  tantum  non  Orpheus  Hebrum 
P(Enaquo  respectus,  et  nunc  manct  Orpheus  in  te." 
The  best  rule,  therefore,  that  can  be  given  to  an  English 
reader  is,  'o  pronounce  words  of  this  termination  always  witn 
the  vowels  separated,  except  an  Engl'sh  poet,  in  imitation  of 
the  Greeks,  should  preserve  the  diphthong  ;  but,  in  the  present 
word,  I  should  prefer  /-<ioni'e-neiu  to  /  dom-e-ne'usy  whetbai 
in  verie  oi  proae.

t  Imaus. — All  our  progodista  make  the  pcnultimato  gyllablo 
of  thig  word  abort,  and,  consequently,  accent  it  on  the  antepe- 
Dultimato  ;  but  Milton,  by  a  liconao  he  wag  allowed  to  take, 
accents  it  on  the  penultimate  syllable: 

"  Aa  when  a  vulture  on  ImaiXs  bred, 
Whoao  gnowy  ridgo  the  roving  Tartar  bounds." 

t  Iphigenia. — The  antepenultimate  syllable  of  this  word  had 
been  in  quiet  possrssiun  of  the  accent  for  mure  than  a  century, 
till  some  Greeklings  of  late  have  attempted  to  place  tho  gtresa 
on  the  penultimate,  in  compliment  to  tho  original  lipiyivcia. 
If  we  agk  our  innovators  on  what  principles  they  pronounce 
this  word  with  the  accent  on  the  i,  llioy  answer,  because  tho  i 
stands  for  the  diphthong  £i,  which,  tieing  long,  must  necessa- 
rily have  the  acceiit  on  it ;  but  it  may  l»e  replied,  this  was  in- 
deed the  case  in  tlio  Latin  languoge,  but  nut  in  the  Creek, 
where  we  find  a  thousand  long  penultimates  without  the  ac- 
cent. It  is  true,  one  of  tho  vowela  which  composed  a  diph- 
thong in  Greek,  when  this  diphthong  was  in  the  penullimulo 
syllable,  generally  had  an  accent  on  it,  but  not  invariably  ;  for 
a  long  penultimate  syllable  did  not  alwoys  ottract  the  accent 
in  Greek  as  it  did  in  Latin.  An  instance  of  this,  among  thou- 
aands,  is  that  famous  lino  of  daclylcs  in  llom-r's  Onyssey,  ox- 
progaing  tho  tumbling  down  of  tho  gtono  of  Sisyphus  : 

"  Awrij  Incira  iriSovSt  KvXlvicro  Xajf  avaift'if.' 

Odysa.  b.  11. 
Another  striking  instance  of  tho  garao  accentuation  appean 
in  the  two  first  verses  of  the  Iliod  : 

"  yirjvip  tuiic  0(u  nr)Xij<d(5tu,  'Aj;;i>i)of 
OvXoijivtiv,  ))  fivpl'  'Ax"'oU  "Xyt  tOi7«ri»." 

1  know  it  may  bo  gaid  that  tho  written  accents  wo  mo  on 
Greek  words  are  of  no  kind  of  authority,  and  that  wo  ought 
always  to  give  accent  to  penullnnuto  long  quaiitily,  aa  tho 
Latins  did.  Not  here  to  enter  into  a  dispute  alMuit  the  au- 
thority of  the  written  accents,  tho  noturo  of  tho  •rul«,  and  iia 
connexion  with  quantity,  which  has  divided  Iho  learned  of 
Euro|ie  for  so  many  years — till  wo  Imvo  a  cleorer  idea  of  tb<i 
nature  of  tho  human  voice,  and  the  properties  of  speaking 
gounds,  which  alone  can  clear  the  difflciilty — for  tho  sake  of 
uniformity,  perhaps  it  wore  better  to  adopt  Ihe  prevailing  mods 
of  pronouncing  Greek  proper  uonici  like  tho  Latin,  by  making 


the  quantity  of  the  penultimate  syllable  the  regulator  of  ths 
accent,  though  contrary  to  the  genius  of  Greek  accenluai  oiv 
which  made  tho  ultimate  syllable  its  regulator  ;  and,  if  this 
gyllablc  wag  long,  the  accent  could  never  rise  higher  Ihaa 
the  penullimate.  Perhaps  in  language,  as  in  laws,  il  is  not 
of  so  much  importance  tliai  Ihe  rules  of  fur^cr  should  ba 
exactly  right,  as  that  they  should  be  certainly  and  easily 
known  ; — so  the  object  of  attention  in  Ihe  presoni  €••»■  is  not 
go  much  what  ought  lo  be  duw,  as  what  actually  ■•  done  : — 
and,  as  pedantry  will  alwavs  lie  more  pardunabte  than  illij- 
erary,  if  wo  are  in  doubl  about  tlu>  prevak-nro  of  custom,  il 
will  always  bo  safer  to  lean  lo  the  side  of  Greik  or  Latui 
than  of  our  own  language. 

^  Ipkimedia. — This  and  the  foregoing  word  hare  the  aroml 
on  tho  game  syllable,  but  for  what  reason  cannot  bo  easily 
conceived.  Thol  Iphigenia,  having  the  diphthong  (i  in  lU 
penullimate  syllable,  should  have  iIhi  arreni  on  that  syllable, 
though  not  tho  soundest,  ia  at  least  a  plauiil>lo  rrawm  :  but 
why  should  our  prosodisis  give  the  same  acrent  lo  tha  i  ro 
Jphtmedia  1  which,  coming  from  i^i  and  I'lCiui,  bra  no  such 
pretensions.  If  they  say  il  h.is  Ihe  acrrni  in  tbc  (irerk  word, 
It  may  bo  answered,  this  is  not  esteemed  a  sufficient  maK>n  fur 
placing  tho  accent  in  Ipkigrnia  :  betides,  it  is  giving  up  Ihe 
sheet  anchor  of  miKlcrn  pr»«»li<li,  the  r^uanlilv,  sa  the  rrfu- 
lator  of  occenl.  Wo  know  it  wns  an  axiom  in  Gr«vk  pru*<>dy, 
that,  when  the  last  syllable  wns  long  by  nature,  lh«  srrent 
could  not  rise  N'yondtbe  penultimate  ;  but  we  know,  luo,  that 
this  axiom  is  abandoned  in  />rni<uLArari,  .frul<>(r/r>,  tnd  a 
thousand  other  words.  The  only  reason,  llirrefore,  thai  re- 
maina  for  llie  [lenullimalo  arcrntuation  of  this  wont,  ii,  inal 
thia  ayllable  is  long  in  some  of  ll>e  liesi  poets.  Be  it  so.  Ix-l

Ainsworth,  accent  thi9  word  on  the  ponultimate syllable  ;  and, 
though  English  analogy  would  prefer  the  accent  on  the  onte-

this  word  on  the  penultimate,  which,  as  a  Latin  word,  ought 
to  have  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate  syllabic.  If  once, 
eays  he,  we  break  through  rules,  why  should  we  not  pronounc*

*  Melobosis. — In  thia  word  I  have  given  the  preferenco  to 
the  antepenultimate  accent,  with  Labje,  Gouldman  and  Hol- 
yoke  ;  though  the  penultimate,  which  Iicmpriere  has  adopted, 
la  more  agreeable  to  the  ear. 

t  Mnlncha. — Thia  word  is  accented  on  the  antepenultimate 
syllable  by  Labbe,  Lempriere  and  .\inaworth  ;  and  on  the 
penultimate  by  Gouldman  and  Holyokc.  Lablw,  indeed,  says 
\it  volueris  ;  and  I  shall  certainly  avail  myself  of  this  pcriiiis- 
aion  to  place  the  accent  on  the  penultimate  ;  for,  when  this 
ayllable  ends  with  u,  the  English  have  a  strong  propensity  to 
place  the  accent  on  it,  even  in  opposition  to  etymology,  as  in 
the  word  JtrbUua, 


\  Myeale  and  Mycone. — An  English  ear  aeems  to  hivs   t 
strong  predilection  for  the  pe'iultimate  accent  on  these  words 
but  all  our  prosodista  acctnt  them  on  the  antepenultimate 
The  same  may  be  observed  of  MuUna. — See  note  on  Oryus, 

5  Myrinus. — Labbe  is  the  only  prosodist  I  have  met  witK, 
who  accents  thia  word  on  the  antepenultimate  syllable;  and 
a.s  this  accentuation  is  so  contrary  to  analogy,  I  have  followed 
l^empriore,  Ainsworth,  Gouldman  and  !Iolyoke,  with  the  ac- 
cent on  the  penultimate  — See  the  word  in  tlie  Terminatieiuu

*  OgygfS. — This  word  is  by  all  our  prosodista  accented  on 
the  first  syllable,  and,  consequently,  it  must  sound  exactly  as  if 
written  Oddje-jez  ;  and  this,  however  odd  to  an  English  ear, 
must  be  complied  with. 

t  Omphale. — The  accentuation  which  a  mere  English  sjieak- 
er  would  give  to  this  word  was  experienced  a  few  years  aijo  by 
a  pantomime  called  Hercules  and  Omphale  ;  when  the  whole 
town  concurred  in  placing  tho  accent  on  the  second  syllable, 
till  some  classical  scholars  gave  a  chock  to  this  pronuiiriation 
by  placing  the  accent  on  the  first.  Thisj  however,  was  far 
from  banishing  tho  former  manner,  and  disturbed  the  public 
ear  without  correcting  it.  Those,  however,  who  would  not 
wish  to  be  numbered  among  the  vulgar,  most  take  care  to 
avoid  the  penultimate  accent. 

X  Orpheits. — See  looiiEifErg 

5  Onjus. — 
'•  And,  at  once,  Broteas  and  Oryits  slew : 
Ortfus'  mother,  Mycale,  was  known 
Down  from  her  sphere  to  draw  the  lab'ring  moon." 
Garth's  Orid.  Met. 

n  Palmyra. — Nothing  can  be  better  fixed  in  an  English  ear 
than  the  peuaitimate  accentuation  of  this  word :  thia  pronun- 


ciation is  adopted  by  Ainsworth  and  Lempriere.  Gouldman 
and  Holyoke  seem  to  look  the  other  way  ;  but  Labbe  says  the 
more  learned  give  this  word  the  antepenultimate  accent,  and 
that  this  accent  is  more  agreeable  to  the  general  rule.  Those, 
however,  must  be  pedantic  coxcombs,  who  should  attempt  to 
disturb  the  received  pronunciation  when  in  English,  because 
a  contrary  accentuation  may  possibly  be  prored  to  be  moio 
agreeable  to  Greek  or  Latin. 

IT  Pamments. — I  find  this  word  no  whoro  but  in  Lempriere, 
who  accents  it  on  the  penultimate;  but  as  all  words  of  this 
termination  have  tbe  antepenultimate  accent,  till  this  appeati 
an  exception,  I  shall  venture  to  alter  it. 

**  Pantheon. — This  word  is  uni\-ersally  pronounced  with  tha 
accent  on  the  second  syllable  in  English,  but  in  Latin  it  baa 
its  first  syllable  accented  ;  and  thia  accentuation  makes  so  slight 
a  difference  to  the  ear,  that  it  ought  to  have  the  preference. 

tt  Papias. — This  is  the  name  of  an  early  Christian  writer, 
who  first  propagated  the  doctrine  of  the  millennium ;  and  it 
is  generally  pronounced  with  the  accent  on  the  second  syllable 
but  1  bel'cve  corruptly,  since  Labbe  has  adopted  the  antepe^ 
nultimate  accent,  who  must  be  well  acquainted  with  the  trw 
pronunciation  of  ecclesiastical  characten.

"  When  with  their  domes  the  slow-pnc'd  snaila  retreat 
Beneath  some  foliage  from  the  burning  heat 
Of  the  Pleiades,  your  tools  prepare  ; 
The  ripen'd  harvest  then  deserves  your  care."

The  translator  haa  adhere<i  strictly  to  the  original  FIAijiacJes 
in  making  this  word  four  syllables.     Virgil  has  done  the  same : 

"  Ple'iadas,  Hyadaa,  claramque  Lycaonis  Arcton." 

Oeorgic,  I. 
But  Ovid  haa  contracted  this  word  into  three  syllables  : 
"  Pleiades  incipiunt  humeroa  relevare  paternos." 

Fasti,  iv.  p.  169. 

The  latter  tranalatora  of  the  classics  have  generally  con- 
tracted this  word  to  threfl  syllables.  Thus,  in  Ogilby's  trans- 
lation of  Virgil's  Gfiorgics,  b.  1 : 

"  First  let  the  eastern  Pleiades  go  down, 

And  the  bright  star  in  Ariadne's  crown." 
"  The  Pleiades  and  Hyades  appear  ; 
The  sad  companion3  of  the  turning  year." 

Crsbcm'i  Maniltus 
But  Dryden  has,  to  the  great  detriment  of  the  poetical 
tonnd  of  this  word,  anglicised  it,  by  squeezing  it  into  two 
■yllablos : 

"  What  are  to  him  the  sculpture  of  the  shield. 
Heaven's  planets,  earth,  and  ocean's  watery  field. 
The  Pleiads,  Ilyads,  less  and  greater  Bear, 
Undipp'd  in  seas,  Orion's  angry  star."' 

OriD'i^ft.  b.  19 
This  unpleasant  contraction  of  Dryden's  seems  not  to  have 
IwoD  much  fo  .lowed.    Sleg&nt  speakers  are  pretty  uniform  in 


preferring  the  trisyllable  ;  but  a  considerable  variety  appears 
in  the  sound  of  the  diphthong  ei.  Most  speakers  pronounce  it 
like  the  eubstantivo  eye  ;  and  this  pronunciation  is  defended 
by  the  common  practice  in  most  schools,  of  sounding  the  diph- 
thong ei  in  this  manner  in  appellatives  ;  but  though  Greek 
appellatives  preserve  the  original  sound  of  their  letters,  aa 
<t>i\avTia,  npoiiariov,  k.  t.  X.,  where  the  t  docs  not  slide  into 
sA,  as  in  Latin  words;  yet  proper  names,  which  are  trans- 
planted into  all  lan<;ua^es,  partake  of  tne  soil  imo  which  ti.ey 
are  received,  and  fall  in  with  the  analogies  of  the  language 
which  adopts  them.  There  is,  therefore,  no  more  reason  lor 
preserving  the  sound  of  et  in  proper  names,  than  for  pronoun- 
cing the  c  like  k  in  Phocion,  Lacedamon,  4cc. 

But  perhaps  it  will  be  said,  that  our  diphthong  ei  has  th« 
sound  of  eye  as  well  as  the  Greek  tt.  To  which  it  may  lie  an- 
swered, that  this  is  an  irregular  sound  of  these  vowels,  and 
can  scarcely  be  priwluced  as  an  example,  since  it  exists  but  in 
either,  neither,  height,  and  sleight.  The  two  first  words  are 
more  frequently  and  analogically  pronounced  eether,  neether  ; 
and  height  is  often  pronounced  so  as  to  rhyme  with  weight, 
and  would,  in  all  probability,  be  always  so  pronounced,  but 
for  the  false  supposition,  that  the  abstract  must  preserve  the 
sound  of  the  verb  or  adjective  from  which  it  is  derived:  and 
with  respect  to  sleight,  though  Dr.  Johnson  says  it  ought  to 
bo  written  slight,  as  we  sometimes  sec  it,  yet,  if  we  observe  his 
authorities,  we  shnll  find  that  several  respectable  authors  spelt 
the  word  in  this  manner  ;  and  if  we  consult  Junius  and  Skin 
ncr,  particularly  the  last,  we  shall  see  the  strongest  reason 
from  etvmology  to  prefer  this  spelling,  as  in  all  probabilitv  it 
comes  from  sly.  The  analogical  pronunciation,  therefore,  of 
this  diphthong  in  our  own  language  is  either  as  heard  in 
vein,  rein,  &c.,  or  in  perceive,  receire,  &c.  The  latter  ia 
adopted  by  many  speakers  in  the  present  word,  as  if  written 
Pleeade-s  ;  but  Plyades,  though  less  analogical,  muM  be  own- 
ed to  be  the  more  polite  and  literary  pronunciation. — Se6  00(4

t  fvindiice. — A  sister  of  Xerxes,  which  I  find  in  no  Ic-^irog- 
rapbor  but  Lenipriero,  and  in  him  with  tlie  accant  on  the  first 
ivllable  ,  but,  from  its  Greek  original  XaviavKi),  it  ought  cer- 
tainly to  be  accented  on  the  second  s_\  liable. 

i  Sapores. — This  word,  says  Labbe,  is  by  Gavantus  and 
others,  ignorant  of  the  Greek,  accented  on  the  first  syllable. 

§  Srinicia. — Lcmpriere  and  Labhe  accent  this  word  on  the 
penultimate;  but  Ainsworth,  Gouldman^and  Ilolyoke  on  the 
antep'iiultimate.     As  this  word,  according  to  Strabo,  had  its 

renultimute  formed  of  the  diphthong  ti,  ScXfuNfuj.  this  sylla- 
lo  oiigl  t  to  have  the  accent ;  but  as  the  an'.cpenultitiiate'  ac- 
cent is  to  incorporated  into  our  tongue,  1  would  strongly  rec- 


ommend the  pronunciation  which  an  English  scholar  woakl 
eive  it  at  first  sight,  and  that  is,  placing  the  accent  on  the  u 
This  is  the  accent  Miiion  gires  it : 

-Eden  stretch'd  her  line 


From  .\uran  eastward  to  the  royal  tow'ra 
Of  great  Se/rucio,  built  by  Grecian  kings." 

Par.  Lost,  b.  4. 
If,  however,  the  English  scholar  wishes  toshine  in  the  classical 
pronunciation  of  this  word,  let  him  take  care  to  pronounce  the 
c  like  »  only,  and  not  like  sh,  which  sound  it  necessarily  has, 
if  I  he  accent  be  on  the  aatepeaultimate  syllabic  See  Riiles  19 
anil  30. 

II  Sirapis. — There  is  not  a  dissenting  voice  among  oar  pro»

*  7'ai/n-etu*  and  Taygete. — Ali  ourproeodisU  but  Lempriere 
accent  these  words  on  the  anlepenultimale  syllable,  as  if  di- 
vided into  Tck-tjg'e-tus  and  Ta-yg'e-U.  I  am,  therefore, 
rather  inclined  to  suppose  the  quantity  marked  in  bis  diction- 
ary an  error  of  the  press-  The  lines  in  Lily's  QiUB  OeniLi 
will  easily  call  to  the  recollection  of  every  sclvolar  how  early 
he  adopted  the  antepoaultimate  pronunciati'^n : 

"  Tartara,  Taygetus,  sic  Tainera,  Massica,  ct  alius 
Uargirus " 


t   Tereus. — For  words  of  this  termination,  sec  Idome:(XUS. 

I  T%ebes. — Thebes  in  Egypt  was  called  Hecalvm'pylos 
from  having  a  hundred  gates  ;  and  Thebes  in  Greece  Hep- 
tap' ylos,  from  its  seven  gates. 

5  Thessnlonica. — This  word,  like  every  other  of  a  similar 
termination,  is  sure  to  be  pronounced  by  a  mere  English  schol 
ar  with  the  accent  on  the  third  syllable;  but  thia  miut  to 
avoided  en  pain  of  literary  excommiuiicalioa

no  wonder  that  a  pedantic  adherence  to  CJreck  and  Latin

PREFACE 


TERMINATIONAL   VOCABULARY. 


TAKING  a  retrospective  view  of  language,  or  surveying  it 
in  its  terminations,  afTorda  not  only  a  new  but  an  ad\anta"e- 
ous  view  of  all  languages.  The  necessity  of  this  view  in- 
duced me,  several  years  ago,  to  arrange  the  whole  linglish 
language  according  to  its  terminations  ;  and  this  arrangement 
I  found  of  infinite  use  to  me  in  consulting  the  analogies  of  our 
tongue.  A  conviction  of  its  utility  made  mo  desirous  of  ar- 
ranging the  (ireek  and  Latin  proper  names  in  the  same  manner, 
and  more  particularly  us  the  pronunciation  of  these  languages 
depends  more  on  the  termination  of  words  than  any  other  we 
are  aciguamted  viith.     Of  such  utility  is  this  arrangement  sup- 

Iiosed  to  be  in  the  Greek  langwige,  that  the  son  of  the  famous 
loogeven,  who  wrote  on  the  tireck  particles,  has  actually 
printed  such  a  dictionary,  which  only  wails  for  a  preface  lo 
1)0  published.  The  labor  of  such  a  selection  and  nrrungo- 
nieiit  must  have  been  prodigious  ;  nor  is  the  tnpk  I  have  un- 
dertaken in  the  present  work  a  slight  one  ;  but  the  idea  of  ren- 
dering the  classical  pronunciation  of  projicr  names  still  more 
easy,  encouraged  mo  to  persevere  in  the  labor,  however  dry 
and  fatiguing. 

I  flattered  myself  I  had  already  promoted  this  end,  by  di- 
viding the  proper  names  into  Hyllahlcs  upon  analogical  prin- 
ciples ;  but  hoped  1  could  slill  add  lo  the  facility  ol  recollect- 
ing their  pronunciation  by  the  urrangeiiient  hern  adopted  : 
which,  in  the  first  place,  cxhibils  the  accent  and  quantity  of^ 
every  word  by  its  termination. 

In  the  next  place,  il  shows  ihe  extent  of  this  accentuation, 
by  producing,  at  one  view,  all  the  words  dilferently  arcenled, 
by  which  means  may  be  formed  the  rule  and  the  except i»n. 

Thirdly,  when  the  exceptions  are  bul  few,  ami  Ich  anl  lo  lie 
regarded,  by  seeing  Ihcm  contrasted  vsitli  the  rule,  ihey  are 
imprinted  more  strongly  on  the  memory,  and  are  the  more  ea«i- 
ly  recollected.  Thus,  by  seeing  thai  Spercliiuj,  XenafhonUu.i, 
and  Darius,  are  the  only  words  of  that  verv  nuinerouii  lernii- 
nalion  which  have  the  accent  on  the  [lonulliinale,  wu  are  at 
perfect  ease  obout  all  the  rest. 

Fourthly,  by  seeing  that  all  words  ending  in  rnf»  have  uni- 
versally the  anlepcnullimale  accent,  wo  easily  rerolle<-l  thai 
the  pronunciation  of  F.umenes  with  the  arceni  on  Ihe  penulti- 
mate is  radically  wrong,  and  is  only  tolerated  iHTaiiw  sdopled 
Dy  some  res|)eetalilo  writers.  Tims,  too,  the  nnMn-rou«  trrmi- 
nalion  in  adeji  is  seen  to  lie  p"rfoctly  anle[ionuliiuiato  ;  and  the 
amliignous  termination  in  idr.i  is  freed  in  some  m'M«iire  from 
its  intricacy,  by  seeing  the  extent  of  both  fornn  ronlrnalrd. 
This  contrast,  without  iK'ing  obliged  to  so  lo  (;rrek  olymol.K 
giss,  shows  at  one  view  when  llii«  lerminnlion  lia«  thnaccfiil 
an' the  penultimate  i,  aa  in  Tydtdes,  and  when  it  Iraiufon  the 


accent  to  the  antcponuUimate,  ai  in  T»ueyduUs  ;  which  d«- 
ponds  entirely  on  the  quaiilily  of  the  original  Mord  from  which 
these  palronymicj  are  formed. 

And,  lastly,  when  the  nuinlwr  of  words  proi>ounr<Hl  with  a 
different  accent  are  nearly  c<|ual,  we  canal  hail  find  tumr  May 
of  recollecting  their  several  occenlujliom  bi'llrr  than  if  lli^y 
were  promiscuously  mingled  with  all  the  re^i  •'' ■•■  •■  •  •  '  >th<i 
language.    Uy  frequently  re(>caling  mem  ««  1 1  '  "'i 

the  ear  will  gain  a  habit  of  placing  the  acr.  I'h- 

out   knowing  why  it  docs  so.     In  short,  if  I u/i« 

Indicts,  which  is  in  the  bonds  of  all  the  kariittl,  be  umHuI  for 
readily  finding  the  accent  and  quantity  of  priii«-r  naii»-«,  iIm 
present  Index  cannot  fail  to  be  much  more  so,  as  il  .lol  only 
associates  lliem  by  their  accent  and  quantily,  but  according  lo 
their  termination  also  ;  and  by  ihis  addiliunal  ostociilion  il 
musl  neccs:<arily  render  any  diversity  of  accent  more  easily 
perceived  and  remembered. 

To  all  which  advantages  it  may  be  added,  that  this  arran(»- 
me.it  has  cnnblod  uie  lo  poinl  oul  Ihe  true  wiund  of  every  ler- 
niination  ;  by  which  means  Ihuse  wlio  are  totally  nnarquainl- 
ed  wilh  Ihe  learned  languagi-s  will  find  lhrm»p|vr»  inatrucUKl 
in  the  true  pronunciatitm  o?  the  final  Idlers  of  every  word,  u

tt  The  ancients  sometimes  separated  the  vowels  ei  in  this 
termination,  and  sometimes  pronounced  them  as  a  diphthong. 
The  general  mode  of  pronouncing  them,  with  us,  is  to  consider 
them  as  a  diiihlhong,  and  to  pronounce  it  as  long  or  double  e; 
which,  t'rom  its  sc)ueezed  sound,  approaches  to  the  initial  y, 
and  makes  these  words  pronounced  as  if  written  El-e-je^ijah, 
Hy-jc'yah,  &.c.  This  is  the  pronunciation  which  ought  to  be 
adopted  ;  but  scholars,  who  are  fond  of  displaying  their 
knowledge  of  Greek,  will  be  sure  to  pronounce  I'.leseia,  Ifuire- 
ia,  or  rather  Ilysteia,  Anthcia,  and  Dewpeia,  with  the  diph 
thong  like  the  noun  eye  ,  while  Cartheia,  or  Carteia,  Aquileia, 
Pompeia,  and  Tarpeia,  of  Latin  original,  are  perinitled  to 
have  their  diphthongs  sounded  like  double  e. or,  which  is  near- 
ly the  same  thing,  if  the  vowels  are  srparateil,  to  sound  the  e 
long  as  in  equal,  and  the  i  as  2^  consonant,  articulating  the 
final  a. — See  nnte  on  Achaia. 

For  a  more  complete  idea  of  the  sound  of  this  diphtbon;, 
see  the  word  Pleiades,  in  the  Initial  Vocabulary.  To 
which  observations  we  may  add,  that,  when  this  diphthong 
in  Greek  is  r<>duced  to  the  single  lon<;  i  in  Latin,  as  io 
Iphii^enia,  Klrsia,  See,  it  is  pronounced  like  single  i,  that  u 
like  the  noun  eye.

this  name  is  so  generally  pronounced  with  the  antepenulti- 
mate accent,  that  it  would  savor  of  pedantry  to  alter  it.  Nt*

centuation.

on  the  penultimate  •,  but  that  the  learned  frequently  depart 
from  this  pronunciation,  by  placing  the  accent  on  the  antepe-

THE  true  pronunciation  of  the  Hebrew  language,  as  Doctor 
liowth  observes,  is  lost.  To  refer  as  for  assistance  to  the 
Klasoretic  points,  would  be  to  launch  us  on  a  sea  without 
shore  or  bottom:  the  only  compass,  by  which  we  can  possibly 
stoer  on  this  boundless  ocean,  is  the  Septuagint  version  of  the 
[lobrcw  Bible  ;  and,  as  it  is  highly  probable  the  translators 
transfused  the  sound  of  the  Hebrew  proper  names  into  the 
Greek,  it  gives  us  something  like  a  clew  to  guide  us  out  of  the 
labyrinth.  But  even  here  wo  are  often  left  to  guess  onr  way  ; 
R>r  the  Greek  word  is  frequently  so  different  from  the  Hebrew, 
as  scarcely  to  leave  any  traces  of  similitude  between  them. 
In  this  case,  custom  and  analogy  must  often  decide,  and  the  car 
must  sometimes  solve  the  difficulty.  But  these  difficulties  re- 
late chieriy  to  tho  accentiuition  oi  Hebrew  words  ;  and  the 
method  adopted  in  this  point  will  be  seen  in  its  proper  place. 

I  must  here  acknowledge  my  obligations  to  a  very  leaned 


and  useful  work — the  Scripture  Lexicon  of  Mr.  Oliver.  Am 
the  first  attempt  to  facilitate  the  pronunciation  of  Hebrew 
proper  names,  by  dividing  thom  into  syllables,  it  deserves  the 
highest  praise:  butj  as  I  have  often  differed  widely  from  this 
gentleman  in  syllabication,  accentuation,  and  the  sound  of  the 
vowels,  1  have  thought  it  necessary  to  give  my  reasons  for  thi« 
difference,  which  will  be  seen  under  the  Rules  ;  of  the  valid] 
ty  of  which  reasons  the  reader  will  be  the  best  judge. 


N.  B.  As  there  are  many  Greek  and  Latin  proper  names  in 
Scripture,  particularly  in  the  New  Testament,  which  are  to 
be  met  with  in  ancient  history,  some  of  them  have  been  omit- 
ted in  this  selection  :  and  therefore,  if  the  inspector  doe»  not 
find  them  here,  he  is  desired  to  seek  fur  them  io  the  Vocabuiar 
ij  of  Greek  and  Latin  Name*. 


RULES 

FOR  PRONOUNCING 

SCIUPTURE  PROPER  NAMES. 


1.  liv  ma  pronanciation  of  the  lottcra  o'"the  Hebrew  proper 
names,  wo  find  nearly  Iho  samo  ruirs  provai  as  in  those  of 
Greek  and  Latin.  VV  liero  the  vowels  end  a  dylUhln  with  the 
accent  on  it,  they  have  their  long  open  Bound,  an  JVa'bal,  Je'- 
ka,  St'racA,  Oo'shen,  and  Txi'lial.  (See  ilule  Ist  profiled  to 
tho  Oreek  and  Latin  Proper  JVamesA 

2.  When  a  conaouant  ends  the  syllable,  the  preceding  vowel 
is  short,  as  Sam'a-el,  Lcm'u-el,  Siin'e-on,  Sul'o-mon,  Succolh, 
Syna-gofTue,  (See  Rule  2d  prefixed  to  the  Oreek  and  Latin 
Proper  JiTamts.)  I  here  difier  widely  from  Mr.  Oliver  ;  for  X 
eannoi  agree  with  him,  that  the  e  in  Aldiel,  the  o  in  Arnon, 
and  the  u  in  Ashur,  are  to  bo  pronounced  like  the  ee  in  seen, 
the  0  Ml  tone,  and  the  u  in  tune,  which  is  the  rule  ho  lays 
down  for  all  similar  words. 

3.  Every  final  i,  forming  a  distinct  syllable,  though  unac- 
cented, has  tho  long  open  sound,  as  jJ'i,  Ji-risa-i.  (See  llulo 
4th  prefixed  to  the  Oreek  and  Latin  Projter  JVaines.) 

4.  Every  unaccented  i,  ending  a  syllable,  not  final,  is  pro- 
nounced like  e,  as  A'ri-el,  Abdi-el,  pronounced  Are-el,  Jib'- 
dc-el.  (See  Rule  4th  prefixed  to  tho  Greek  and  Latin  Proper 
J\t'ames.) 

5.  Tho  vowels  ai  are  sometimes  pronounced  in  one  syllable, 
and  sometimes  in  two.  As  the  Septuagint  version  is  our  chief 
guide  in  the  pronunciation  of  Hebrew  proper  names,  it  may 
be  observed,  that  when  these  letters  are  pronounced  as  a 
iliphtbong  in  one  syllable,  like  our  English  diphthong  in  the 
ivord  daily,  they  are  either  a  diplithong  in  the  Greek  word, 
•r  expressed  by  the  Greek  c  or  i,  as  Ben-ai'ah,  l&avala  ; 
Ifu'shni.  Xvat  ;  Hurai,  Ouoi,  &c.;  and  that  when  they  are 
oronouiiced  in  two  syllables,  as  Sliam'ma-i,  Sh.a.ili'a-i, 
Ber-a-i'ah,  it  is  because  the  Greek  words  by  which  they 
are  translated,  as  Sii//ai,  Xtffit,  B'ipaf<i,  make  two  syllables 
of  tlieso  vowels.  Mr.  Oliver  has  not  always  attended  to  this 
distinction :  ho  makes  Sin'a-i  three  syllables,  though  the 
Greeks  made  it  hut  two  in  Sun.  That  accurate  prosodist, 
Labbe,  indeed,  makes  it  a  trisyllable  ;  but  he  does  tho  same 
Oy  Aaron  and  Canaan,  which  our  great  classic  Milton  uni- 
formly reduces  to  two  aylliibles,  as  well  as  Sinai.  If  we  were 
to  nronounce  it  in  three  syllubles,  wo  must  necessarily  make 
tho  first  syllable  short,  as  in  SJiim'ei ;  but  ihii  is  so  conlrnry 
to  the  best  usage,  that  it  amounts  to  a  proof  that  it  ought  to 
be  pronounced  in  two  syllables,  wilh  the  first  i  long,  as  in 
Slii'nar.  This,  however,  must  Ik)  looked  upon  as  a  gi-neral 
rule  oniy  :  these  vowels  in  /MiaA,  Gripciseil  by  Miffuinj,  are 
always  pronounced  as  a  diphthong,  or,  at  least,  with  the  ac- 
cent on  the  a,  and  Iho  i  like  y  aiticulating  the  suox'eding 
vowel ;  in  Caiaphas,  likewise,  the  >i<  is  pronounced  like  a  diph- 
thong, though  divided  in  tlie  Greek  V.n'(<paa<; ;  which  divimon 
cannot  take  place  in  this  woril,  Iwcause  the  i  must  then  ne- 
cessarily have  tho  accent,  and  must  t)C  pronounced  as  in  l.taac, 
OS  Mr.  Oliver  has  marked  it ;  but  I  think  contrary  to  uiiiver- 
•ul  usage.  The  only  point  necesnury  to  Ikj  observed  in  the 
eound  of  this  diphthong  is,  the  slight  difforonco  wo  |wrcoivo 
hclvveen  its  medial  and  final  position  :  when  it  it  final,  it  is 
exurllv  like  the  English  ay  without  tlio  accent,  a«  wholyday, 
rouiitlilay,  gallaicay  ;  hut"whon  it  is  in  tho  middle  of  a  '.•■•.'"1; 
and  f.dl.iwed  by  a  vowel,  the  i  is  pronouncerl  as  if  it  were  y, 
and  as  if  this  y  articulated  the  succiH-ding  vowel :  thus  Ben- 
aiah  is  pronounced  as  if  wrilten  Hen-ayah.  .     r-       i 

0.  Ch  is  pronounced  like  k,  as  Clirbar,  C'AcmcxA,  F.noth, 
&.C.,  pronounced  Kebar,  A>m<).«A,  h'.nock,  Vc.  Chrrubim  and 
RiicUel  seem  to  be  perfectly  Anglirisf-d.  as  Iho  f*  in  tliew 
worils  is  always  heard  as  in  llio  English  words  r hen-,  child, 
Wc/irv,  &c.  (See  Rule  12th  profixe.l  lo  ih.i  Orrek  and  Uttn 
Profier  JVamen.)  Tho  same  may  Ix)  observed  of  Chrruh.iig- 
nilving  an  oriler  of  angels  ;  hni  when  il  means  a  rily  of  tho 
Kabylonish  empire,  it  ought  to  Iw  proiuiunced  Kr  rub. 

7.  Almost  tho  only  dilVerenrn  in  Iho  pronutiriiilit>n  of  tho 
llibfw,  and  Iho  <;reek  and  Latin  pro|>oi  nnines,  is  in  the 
sound  of  the  g  before  e  and  i  .•  in  tli«  two  Imt  Iaiigmir<-«,  Ibis 
consoniint  is  always  soli  liefore  llieso  vowels,  as  Orlliu-,

and  tliu  (IruL'k  accent  on  the  iiiMiiiltimato.  (See  IntriHluctimi 
(irolixi'd  to  tho  Rules  for  pronoiiiiring  Orerk  and  Latin  Prober 
J^'aint..-^.)  It  is  this  general  prevaloiico  of  accenting  according 
tu  tlie  Latin  analogy,  that  has  induced  me,  when  the  Ilehrew 
word  has  lieen  GriDcised  in  the  same  nunilmr  of  syllables,  to 
prefer  the  Latin  accentuation  to  what  may  bo  called  our  own. 
Tims  Calhua,  coining  to  us  through  the  Greek  KafKu,  I  have 
accented  it  on  the  {lenultiniale,  because  the  Latins  would  have 
placed  the  accent  on  this  syllable  on  account  of  its  being  long, 
though  an  Kng'iah  oar  would  be  better  pleased  with  tlio  ante- 
penuTtiinatrf  ucc».it.  The  same  reason  has  induced  mo  to  ac- 
cent Vha.iiha  on  tho  aiiteponullimate,  because  it  is  Grtecised 
into  Xiiaciiii.  But  when  the  Hebrew  and  Greek  word  does 
not  contain  tho  same  number  of  syllables,  as  Mes'o-hah, 
MciTujiia,  Id'u-elf  I^or/Xof,  it  then  comes  under  our  own  anal- 
ogy, and  we  neglect  the  long  vowel,  and  place  the  accent  on 
the  antepenultimate.  Tho  same  may  be  observed  of  Morde- 
cai,  from  Mnp^o^aToy. 

14.  As  we  never  accent  a  proper  name  from  tho  Greek  on 
the  last  syllable,  (not  because  the  Greeks  did  not  accent  tho 
last  syllable,  for  they  had  many  words  accented  in  that  man- 
ner, but  because  this  accentuation  was  contrary  to  the  Latin 

firosody  ;)  so,  if  the  Greek  word  be  accented  on  any  other  syl- 
ablc,  we  seldom  pay  any  regard  to  it,  unless  it  coincide  with 
tlic  Latin  accent.  Thus  in  the  word  Oede'rah,  I  have  placed 
tho  accent  on  the  penultimate,  because  it  is  Graecised  by 
Vdcijpn,  where  the  accent  is  on  the  antepenultimate  ;  and 
this  because  the  penultimate  is  long,  and  this  long  penultimate 
has  always  the  accent  in  Latin.  (See  this  further  exemplifi- 
ed, Rule  ISlh,  prefixed  to  tho  Greek  and  Latin  Proper  JVames, 
and  Introduction,  near  the  end.)  Tims,  though  it  may  seem 
at  first  sight  absurd  to  derive  our  pronunciation  of  Hebrew 
words  from  the  Greek,  and  then  to  desert  the  Greek  for  the 
Latin  ;  yet,  since  we  must  have  some  rule,  and,  if  possible,  a 
learned  one,  it  is  very  natural  to  lay  hold  of  the  Latin,  be- 
cause it  is  nearest  at  hand.  For  as  language  is  a  mixture  of 
reasoning  and  convenience,  if  tho  true  reason  lie  too  remote 
from  common  apprehension,  another  more  obvious  one  is  gen- 
erally adopted  ;  and  this  last,  by  general  usage,  becomes  a 
rule  superior  to  tho  former.  It  is  true,  the  analogy  of  our  own 
language  would  be  a  ru.e  the  most  rational ;  but,  while  the 
analogies  of  our  own  language  are  so  little  understood,  and 
the  Greek  and  Latin  languages  are  so  justly  admired, even  the 
appearance  of  being  acquainted  with  them  will  always  be  es- 
teemed reputable,  and  infallibly  lead  us  to  an  imitation  of 
them,  even  in  such  points  as  are  not  only  insignificant  in 
themselves,  but  inconsistent  with  our  vernacular  pronuncia- 
tion. 

15.  It  is  remarkable  that  all  words  ending  in  ias  and  iah 
have  tho  accent  on  tho  i,  without  any  foundation  in  the  anal- 
ogy of  Greek  and  Latin  pronunciation,  except  the  very  vague 
reason  that  the  Greek  word  places  the  accent  on  this  syllable. 
I  call  this  reason  vague,  because  the  Greek  accent  has  no  in- 
flaonce  on  words  in  ael,  id,  ial,  &.C.,  as  lepuijX,  A/5J(^X, 
BtXi'aX,  K.  T.  X. 

Hence  we  may  conclude  the  impropriety  of  pronouncing 
Messia3  with  tho  accent  on  the  first  syllable  according  to 
Labbe,  who  says  wo  must  pronounce  it  in  this  manner,  it  we 
lyisb  to  pronounce  it  like  tho  French  with  the  os  rotuiuium  et 


farvndum  ;  nnd,  indi-cd,  if  the  i  were  to  bo  pronounced  In 
the  Krencli  niunncr,  likn  e,  plucinK  the  nrcuiit  on  the  firat  ifl- 
lahlfi  loenii  to  liavn  thu  Ixdik-r  Hound,  'i'hii  may  x.-rvo  an  an 
answer  to  the  learned  critic,  tho  editor  of  ImMh;,  who  ««v« 
"  tho  (irurkn,  but  nut  thii  I-reiirh,  pronounce  ore  rolundu  i'' 
for  though  tho  lirmka  might  placo  the  accent  on  the  i  in 
Mtaaitu,  yet,  as  they  certainly  pronounced  thia  vowel  a<  tho 
Frp^ch  CO,  It  must  hnvo  tho  aaniv  ilender  nound,  and  the  ic- 
cent  on  the  firat  ayllablu  muit,  in  that  reipcel,  Iw  prefurable  to 
it ;  for  tha  Gre<,-k  i,  like  the  samo  letter  in  I^tin,  waa  tho 
slenderest  of  all  tliii  vowel  ■uuiida.  It  in  the  broad  diph 
thongal  sound  of  till)  Knglinh  t  with  the  accrnt  on  it,  which 
makes  this  word  sound  so  much  lictter  in  fjiglUh  than  it  duct 
in  French,  or  oven  in  the  true  ancient  (irock  proauncialion. 

10.  1'ho  tormination  aim  seems  to  attract  tho  accent  on  the 
a  only  in  words  of  more  than  three  syllablea,nji  K  pHraim  and 
Mii'ra-im  have  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate  ;  but  //o- 
ri>-na'im,  Ham-a-tha'im,  jcc,  on  thu  [leriultimate  syllable. 
This  is  a  general  rule  ;  but  jf  the  Greek  word  have  the  penul- 
timate long,  thu  accent  ought  to  be  OD  that  syllablo,  aa  Phar 
va'im,  'VapvliJ,  &.c. 

17.  Kemuct,  Jemuel,  Jfemutl,  and  other  words  of  the  sanio 
form,  having  tho  same  number  of  syllable*  as  the  Greek  wordf 
into  which  they  are  translated,  ought  to  have  tlic  accent  ua 
the  penultimate,  as  that  syllable  is  long  in  Greek  ;  but  h'.man- 
uel,  Samuel,  and  Lemuel,  are  irrecoverably  fixed  in  tlic  iint»- 
penultimate  accentuation,  and  siiow  the  true  analogy  of  lti» 
accentuation  of  our  own  language. 

18.  Thus  we  see  what  has  been  observed  of  tho  tendcnef 
of  Greek  and  Latin  words  to  desert  their  original  accent,  and 
to  adopt  that  of  the  English,  is  much  more  observable  ic 
words  from  the  Hebrew.  Greek  and  Latin  wordg  are  fixed  u 
their  pronunciation,  by  a  thousand  hooka  written  express); 
upon  the  subject,  and  ten  thousand  occasions  of  using  them  . 
but  Hebrew  words,  from  the  remote  antiquity  of  the  tan 
guage,  from  the  paucity  of  books  in  it,  from  its  being  origin 
ally  written  without  points,  and  tho  very  different  style  of  it 
poetry  from  that  of  other  languages,  afford  us  scarcely  an< 
criterion  to  recur  to  for  settling  their  pronunciation,  whid 
must  therefore  often  bo  irregular  and  desultory.  The  Sep 
tuagint,  indeed,  gives  us  some  light,  and  is  the  only  star  bj 
which  wo  can  steer  ;  but  this  is  so  frequently  obscured,  as  b 
leave  us  in  the  dark,  and  force  us  to  pronounce  according  ti 
the  analogy  of  our  own  language.  It  were  to  be  wished,  in 
deed,  that  this  wore  to  be  entirely  adopted  in  Hebrew  wordi 
where  we  have  so  little  to  determine  us  ;  and  that  those  wordi 
which  we  have  worn  into  our  own  pronunciation  were  to  be  e 
rule  for  all  others  of  the  same  form  and  termination  ;  but  it  ii 
easier  to  bring  about  a  revolution  in  kingdoms  than  in  Ian 
guages.  Men  of  learning  will  always  form  a  sort  of  literary 
aristocracy  ;  they  will  lie  proud  of  the  distinction  which  a 
knowledge  of  languages  gives  then  above  the  vulgar,  end  will 
be  fond  of  show ing  this  knowicugc,  which  the  vulgar  will 
never  fail  to  admire  and  imitate. 

The  best  we  can  do,  therefore,  is  to  make  a  sort  of  compro 
mise  between  this  ancient  language  and  our  own  ;  to  form  a 
kind  of  compound  ratio  of  Hebrew,  Greek,  Latin,  and  Eng 
lisb,  and  to  let  each  of  these  prevail  as  usage  has  permitted 
them.  Thus  Emanuel,  Samuel,  Lemuel,  which,  according  to 
the  Latin  analogy  and  our  own,  have  the  accent  on  the  ante- 
penultimate syllable,  ought  to  remain  in  quiet  possession  of 
their  present  pronunciation,  notwithstanding  the  Greek 
Kniiavnf)X,  2a^»i)X,  Ae^uh^  ;  but  Elishua,  Esarelon,  Oede- 
rah,  may  have  the  accent  on  the  penultimate,  because  the 
Greek  words  into  which  they  are  translated,  EXiitki,  TLcipTj- 
\i)]i,  Vd6rjpa,  have  the  penultimate  long.  If  this  should  not 
appear  a  satisfactory  method  of  settling  the  pronunciation  of 
these  words,  I  must  entreat  those  who  dissent  from  it  to  point 
out  a  better  :  a  work  of  this  kind  was  wanted  for  general  use  : 
it  is  addressed  neither  to  the  learned  nor  the  illiterate,  but  to 
that  large  and  most  respectable  part  of  society  who  have  a 
tincture  of  letters,  but  whose  avocations  deny  them  the  op 
portunity  of  cultivating  them.  To  these  a  work  of  this  kind 
cannot  fail  of  being  useful  ;  and  by  its  utility  to  these  the  au 
thor  wishes  to  stand  or  fall

♦,*  When  a  word  is  succeeded  by  a  word  printed  in  Italics, 
this  luttor  word  is  merely  to  spell  the  former  as  it  ought  to  Iw 
pronounced.  Thus,  As'e-fa  is  the  true  pronunciation  of  the 
preceding  word  Ac'i-pha  :  and  so  of  the  rest. 

**'  Tlie  figures  annexed  to  the  words  refer  to  the  rules 
prefixed  to  tlie  Vocabulary.  Thus  the  figure  3  after  Ab  di 
refers  to  Rule  the  3d,  for  the  pronunciation  of  the  final  i  ,'  and 


the  figure  5  after  A-biu'ea-i  refer*  to  Rule  the  5th,  for  the  pro

*  Aaron. — This  is  a  word  of  three  syllables  in  I.abbc,  who 
says  it  is  used  to  be  pronounced  with  tlm  accent  on  tlie  penul- 
timate ;  but  the  general  pronunciation  of  this  word  in  Fnglish 
is  in  two  syllables,  with  the  accent  on  tho  first,  nnd  as  if  writ- 
ten .4  row.  Milton  uniformly  gives  it  this  syllabication  and 
accent : 

"  Till  by  two  brethren  (those  two  brethren  call 
Moses  nnd  Aaron)  sent  from  Ood  to  claim 
His  people  from  inlhrahnont." 

Par.  Lost,  b.  xii.  v.  170. 
t  {A-ba'na.—V.] 

\  Ahnrim. — This  and  some  other  words  aro  docidod  in  Iboir 
aocontualion  by  Milton  in  tho  following  verses  : 
"  From  Aroar  to  Nebo,  and  tho  wild 
Of  Routbmost  Abarim  in  llcsebon. 
And  lloronuim.  Scon's  realm,  licyond 
Tho  flowery  dalo  uf  Sibmaclad  with  vinos, 
And  EloaI6  to  th'  Aspliallic  pool." 

Par.  Lost,  b.  i.  v.  407. 

«i Yet  his  tdmplo  high 

Uoar'd  in  .\zotus,  dreaded  through  tho  coast 


Of  Palestine,  in  (Jnth  nnd  Asrnlon, 

And  Accaron  and  Gaza's  frontier  bounds." — lb.  4C3. 

5  Abram,  (<i  .Ibraham. — Tho  first  name,  of  two  syllntikM 
was  tho  palriarch's  oricinal  name,  lint  (Jod  iiicrr.i«-d  it  lo 
tho  second,  of  threo  syllablen.  us  a  pli'tlgi"  of  an  iiirrrnw  in 
hlessinc.  Tlie  latter  name,  however,  from  Iho  focblem-ss  of 
tho  h  in  our  nronunriation  of  it,  and  from  the  otwfiire  nf  tho 
nrcenl,  is  liilile  lo  such  a  hiatus,  from  tho  proximity  of  two 
similat  vowels,  that,  in  tho  most  solemn  pfonnnriotion,  wc 
seldom  hear  this  name  extended  lo  three  syllables.  Milton 
has  but  onro  pronounced  it  in  this  manner,  hut  has  six  times 
mndo  it  only  two  svllnblrs  ;  and  this  n>ay  bo  looked  upon  aa 
tho  general  pronunciation. 

II  Adnnai. — Ij»bl>p,  says  his  editor,  makes  this  a  word  ol 
three  syllalilos  only  ;  which,  if  once  admitlol,  why,  says  ho, 
should  he  dissolve  tho  Hebrew  diphthong  in  Sndat,  .Smoi,  Tul- 
mai,  Si.c.,  nnd  at  the  «nmo  lime  make  two  syllahlosof  the  diph- 
thong in  C'a.</fM,  which  are  rommonly  iiniloil  into  one?  la 
this,  snys  he,  be  is  inconsistent  with  himself — Bco  Sinai

*  Amfn. — The  only  simple  word  in  the  language  which  has 
necessarily  two  successive  accents. 

\  Anathema. — Those  who  are  not  acquainted  with  the  pro- 
found researches  of  verbal  critics  would  be  astonished  to  ob- 
serve what  waste  of  learning  has  been  bestowed  on  this  word 
by  Labbe,  in  order  to  show  that  it  ouijht  to  bo  accented  on  the 
niilrpenultimate  syllable.  This  pronunciation  has  Ix-on  adopt- 
ed by  Rnelish  scholars  ;  though  some  divines  have  been  heard 
from  the  pulpit  to  give  it  the  penultimate  accent,  which  so 
readily  unites  it  in  a  trochaic  pronunciation  with  Maranntha, 
in  the  first  Epistle  of  St.  Paul  to  the  Corinthians  :  "  If  any 
man  love  not  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  let  hira  be  Anathema 
viaranatha." 

J  Areopagus. — There  is  a  strong  propensity  in  English  read- 
ers of  the  New  Testament  to  pronounce  this  word  with  the  ac- 
cent on  the  penultimate  syllabic,  and  even  some  foreign  srholars 
have  contended  that  it  ought  to  be  so  pronounced,  from  its  der- 
ivation from  'Ap£<o?  niydi'.  the  Doric  dialect  for  iri?}"))-.  the 
fountain  of  Mars,  which  was  on  a  hill  in  Athens,  rather  than 
from  'Apcio?  Trdyof ,  the  hill  of  Mars.  But  Labbe  very  justly  do- 
apises  tliis  derivation,  and  says,  that,  of  all  the  ancient  writers, 
none  have  said  that  the  Arenpacras  was  derived  from  a  foun- 
Uiin,  or  from  a  country  near  to  a  fountain  ;  but  all  have  con- 
C'sscd  that  it  came  from  a  hill,  or  the  summit  of  a  rock,  on 
which  this  fanioit  court  of  judicature  was  built  Vussius 
'tell*  Qs,  ttat  St    Vugustiac,  De  Civ  Dei,  1.  x.  cap  10,  calls 


this  word  pagum  JUartis,  the  Village  of  Mars,  and  that  ho  foil 
into  this  error  because  tho  Latin  word  pacnts  signifies  a  village 
or  street  ;  but,  eays  he,  the  Greek  word  signifies  a  hill,  which, 
perhaps,  was  so  called  from  naya  or  jiit^^  (that  is,  fountain), 
because  fountains  usually  take  their  rise  on  hills.  Wrong, 
however,  as  this  derivation  may  be,  he  tells  us  it  is  adopted 
by  no  less  scholars  than  Bcza,  Budxus,  and  Sigonius.  And 
this  may  show  us  the  uncertainty  of  etymology  in  language, 
and  the  security  of  general  usage  ;  but  in  the  present  cam?,  both 
etymology  and  usage  conspire  to  place  the  accent  on  the  ante- 
penultimate syllable.  Agreeably  to  this  u^age,  wc  find  the 
prologue  to  a  play  observe,  that, 

"  The  critics  are  assembled  in  the  pit, 
And  form  an  Arcopagxis  of  wit." 

5  Asmadai. — Mr.  Oliver  has  not  inserted  this  word,  but  we 
have  it  in  Milton  : 


-On  each  wing 


Uriel  and  Raphael  his  vaunting  foe. 

Though  huge,  and  in  a  rock  of  diamond  arm'd, 

Va'"quish'd,  Adramelech  and  Asmadui.^' 

Par.  Lost,  b.  vi.  v.  3C5. 
Whence  we  may  guess  tho  poet's  pronunciation  of  it  in  thre(> 
syllables  ;  the  liiphthong  sounding  like  the  at  in  daily.- 
liulc  5,  and  the  words  Si:fAt  and  AoonAi.

•  [CAei-er-ia-o'raer.— P.] 

t  Deborah. — The  learned  editor  of  Labbe  tella  na,  that  tbia 
word  has  the  penultimate  long,  both  in  Greek  and  Hebrew  ; 
and  yet  be  observes  that  our  clergy,  when  reading  the  Holy 
Scriptures  to  the  people  in  Enelish,  always  pronounce  it  with 
the  accent  on  the  first  syllable  ;  "  and  'why  not,"  says  he, 
'when  they  place  the  accent  on  the  first  syllable  of  orator, 
auditor,  and  successor  1"   "  But,"  continties  he,  "  I  supposo 


they  accent  them  otherwise  when  they  speak  Latin  "    Wbe 
doubts  it .' 


t  [Di-o-treph'es.—P.] 


5  [Eli-phau—?.] 


II  F.mmaus — This  word  is  often  very  improperly  proDOonoad 
in  two  syllables,  as  if  divided  into  Em  maiis.

*  Israel. — This  word  is  colloquially  pronounced  in  two  syl- 
lables, and  not  unfrequently  heard  in  the  same  manner  from 
the  pulpit.  The  tendency  of  two  vowels  to  unite,  when  there 
is  no  accent  to  keep  tliein  distinct,  is  the  cause  of  this  corrup- 
tion, as  in  Canaan,  Isaac,  &.C.;  but  as  there  is  a  greater  diffi- 
culty in  keeping  separate  two  unaccented  vowels  of  the  same 
kind,  so  the  latter  corruplion  ia  more  excusable  than  the  for- 
mer ;  and,  therefore,  in  my  opinion,  this  word  ought  always  in 
public  pronunciation,  especially  in  reading  the  .Scripture,  to  be 
beard  in  throe  syllables.  Milton  introduces  this  wotd  four 
umoa  ID  his  Paradise  Lost,  and  coii»taotly  makes  it  two  sylla- 


bles only  But  those  who  understand  English  prosody  know 
that  we  have  a  great  number  of  words  which  have  two  dis- 
tinct impulses,  that  go  for  no  more  than  a  single  syllable  in 
verse,  such  as  hearen,  given,  tc:  higher  and  dijrr  arc  always 
considered  as  dissyllables;  and  Aire  and  dire,  which  have  ex- 
actly the  same  quantity  to  the  ear,  but  as  monosyllables. 
Israel,  thorelbre,  ought  always,  in  deliberate  and  solemn 
speaking,  lo  be  heard  in  three  syllables.  The  same  ma;  b« 
observed  of  Raphael  and  .Vichael.

*  [The  regular  pronunciation,  PentecSsl,  is  now  more  com- 
mon.— Ed.] 

t  [Ram'e-ses. — P.] 

X  Raphael. — This  word  has  uniformly  the  accent  on  the  first 
syllable  throughout  Milton,  Ihongb  Griccised  by  'Vn6m)\  ;  but 
the  nuanlity  is  not  so  invariably  sctll'Hi  by  him  ;  for,  in  his 
Paradise  Lost,  he  makes  it  four  times  of  three  syllublcs,  and 
twice  of  two.  What  is  observed  under  Israel  is  applicable  lo 
this  word.  Colloquially,  wo  may  pronounce  it  in  two,  as  if 
writton  Raphel ;  nut  in  di'libcralo  and  solemn  speaking  or 
reariinj,  we  ought  to  make  the  two  last  vowels  to  bo  heard  se|>- 
nriitrly  and  di^tlinctly.  The  same  may  bo  observed  of  jMichaeL 
which  Milton,  in  his  Paradise  Lost,  uses  six  times  as  a  word 
uf  throe  syllables,  and  eighteen  times  as  a  word  of  two  only. 

$  [Reu'el.—V.] 

II  Sabaclhani  — Some,  says  tlie  editor  of  Labho,  place  the 
accent  on  the  anteponultimato  syllable  of  this  word,  and 
others  on  the  penultimate:  this  last  pronunciation,  he  says,  is 
most  agreeable  to  tbi;  Hebrew  word,  the  pcnultimale  uf  which 
is  nut  only  long,  but  accented  :  and,  as  this  word  is  Hebrew,  it 
is  certainly  the  preferable  pronunciation. 

IT  Sabaolh. — This  word  should  not  be  confounded  in  its  pro- 
nunciation with  $aM»r/(,  a  woril  of  so  differont  a  significa- 
tion. Sahaoth  ought  to  lie  heard  in  three  syllables,  by  keeping 
the  a  and  o  separate  and  distinct.  This,  it  must  lie  confessed, 
is  not  very  easy  to  do,  hut  is  abs<dntoly  necessary  to  prevent  a 
very  grrws  cont'usion  of  ideas,  and  ii  rM'rvcrsi<in  of  the  senao. 
jFuitun  and  Knight  accent  this  word  ;>iifr-a'()t/i.] 


**  Satan. — There  is  some  dispute  among  the  learrvs]  ah.iit 
the  quantity  of  the  second  svlhihio  of  Ibii  wor<l  when  Ijitin 
or  Greek,  as  may  l)e  seen  in  l.abbe,  but  none  alwiul  the  firal 
This  is  av^kn()wU(l;;<d  lo  lie  short  ;  ami  this  hna  iiiilurr<l  thmo

English,  as  if  written  Saltan.  If  these  gentffmen  have  not 
peruseil  the  Principles  of  Pr<munciation,  prcliied  lo  the  Criti- 
cal Pronouncini  Mrtionary,  I  would  lake  the  litx-rty  of  refer- 
ring them  to  wliat  is  there  said,  for  full  satitfaclion,  fur  what- 
ever relates  to  iliriving  Knclish  (juanlllv  from  the  I^tin,  Kul 
fur  those  who  have  not  an  op|Mirlunity  uf  insperting  that 
work,  it  may,  p-rlmps,  Iw  suHicitnl  to  observe,  llmt  no  ana-

cent  on  the  tirs.  syllable,  leads  US  lo  pinnnunre  ihnt  svlbbla

words  of  the  same  funn  ;  ami  where  it  has  lirsMi  coiinleraclixl, 
we  find  n  miner-fble  nttempt  to  follow  the  I^tin  r|iianlil]r  in 
the  English  word,  which  wo  enliridy  nrglerl  in  the  l^tin  it-

shortening  the  first  syllable  of  tho  Englisii  word,  as  in  magic, 
placid,  tepid,  tec,  though  we  violate  this  rule  in  the  pronun- 
ciation of  the  Latin  words  caliao,  cogito,  &c.,  which,  accord- 
ing to  this  analogy,  ought  to  be  cale-i-go,  coge-i-to,  &.C.,  with 
the  first  syllable  long. 

This  pedantry,  which  ought  to  have  a  harsher  title,  has 
considerably  hurt  the  sound  of  our  language,  by  introducing 
into  it  too  many  short  vowels,  and  consequently  rendering  it 
loss  flowing  and  sonorous.  'The  tendency  of  the  penultimate 
accent  to  open  and  lengthen  the  first  vowel  in  dissyllables, 
with  hut  one  consonant  in  the  middle,  in  some  measure  coun- 
teracts the  shortening  tendency  of  two  conronantf,  nnd  the 
almost  invariable  shortening  tendency  of  the  antepenultimate 
accent  ;  but  this  analogy,  which  seems  to  bo  the  genuine 
operation  of  nature,  is  violated  by  these  ignorant  critics  from 
the  pitiful  ambition  ofappearing  to  understand  Latin.  As  the 
first  syllable,  therefore,  of  tho  word  in  question  has  its  first 
vowel  pronounced  short  for  such  miserable  reasons  as  have 
bocn  shown,  and  this  short  pronunciation  does  not  seem  to  be 
general,  we  ought  certainly  to  incline  to  that  pronunciation 
which  is  so  agreeable  to  tho  analogy  of  our  own  language,  and 
which  is,  at  the  same  time,  so  much  more  pleasing  to  the  ear. 

•  [Scn-ach'e-rib.—P.]  t  [Sche-ki'nah.—P.] 

I  Siloa. — This  word,  according  to  tho  present  general  rule 
•f  pronouncing  these  words,  ought  to  have  the  accent  on  the 
second  syllable,  aa  it  is  GrjBcised  by  5;(Xu)i5  ;  but  Milton,  who 
nr.deriitooil  its  derivation  as  well  as  the  present  race  of  critics, 
hai  given  it  the  antepenultimate  accent,  as  more  agreeable  to 
'!»  geoeral  analogy  of  accenting  English  wordj  of  the  same 
form: 


-Or  if  Sion  hill 


Delight  thee  mote,  or  Siloa's  brook,  that  flow'd 

Fast  by  the  oracle  of  God " 

If  criticism  ought  not  to  overturn  settled  usages,  surely  wfieo 
that  usage  is  sanctioned  by  such  a  poet  as  Milton,  it  ought 
not  to  bo  looked  upon  as  a  license,  but  an  authority.  With 
respect  to  the  quantity  of  tho  first  syllable,  analogy  require* 
that,  if  the  accent  be  on  it,  it  should  be  short. — See  Rules  pro- 
fixed  to  the  Oreck  and  Latin  Proper  M'amej,  Rule  19. 

5  &nai. — If  we  pronounce  this  word  after  the  Hebrew,  it  hat 
three  syllables  ;  if  after  the  Greek,  Siva,  two  only  ;  though  it 
must  be  confessed,  that  the  liberty  allowed  to  poets  of  increas- 
ing tho  end  of  a  line  with  one,  and  sometimes  two  syllables, 
renders  their  authority,  in  thia  case,  a  little  equivocal.  Labbe 
adopts  the  former  pronunciation,  hut  general  usage  seems  to 
prefer  the  latter:  and  if  we  almost  .iniversally  follow  the 
Greek  in  other  cases,  why  not  Id  this?  Milton  adopts  the 
Greek: 

"  Sing,  neav  n.y  muse  I  that  on  the  secret  top 
Of  Oreb  or  of  Sna:  didst  inspire 

That  shepherd " 

"  God,  from  tho  mount  of  Sinai,  whose  gray  tcp 
Shall  tremble,  he,  descending,  will  himself. 
In  thunder,  lightning,  and  load  trumpets'  sound, 
Ordain  them  laws." 

Par.  Lost,  b.  xii.  t.  237. 

We  ought  not,  indeed,  to  lay  too  much  stress  on  the  quantdf 
of  Milton,  which  is  often  so  different  in  the  same  word  ;  but 
lh(se  are  the  onljr  two  passages  in  his  Paradise  Lost  wbera

PLAN  OF  THE 

OCTAVO  DICTIONARY, 


WITH 


RECOMMENDAXrONS 


OP 


THIS  AND  THE  ORIGINAL  WORK. 


Tbis  volume  is  designed  to  be  a  complete  defining  and 
announcing  diciionary  (or  general  use.  Wilh  refernnce 
to  the  first  object,  it  embraces  a  much  larger  proportion  of 
Dr.  Webster's  great  work,  than  is  usual  in  abridgiiienls  of 
this  kinri,  couiprising  more  than  half  the  matter  of  tlie  two 
original  quartos.  With  reference  to  the  second  object,  im- 
portant additions  have  been  made  from  other  sources,  which 
render  it  a  more  comprehensive  work  than  any  of  the  kind 
in  our  language  ;  embracing,  as  it  does,  not  only  the  pro- 
nunciation of  English  words,  but  of  Latin,  Greek,  and  Scrip- 
ture Proper  Names.  Being  formed  with  these  views,  it 
contains: 

1st.  All  the  words  which  are  found  in  the  American  Dic- 
tionary, with  numerous  additions  from  other  quarters. 

2d.  All  the  definitions  of  the  original  work,  with  all  the 
shades  of  meaning  as  there  given,  expressed  in  the  author's 
own  language,  though  to  some  extent  in  abridged  terms. 
The  plan,  however,  has  been  to  give  the  definitions,  espe- 
cially of  synonymous  words,  with  great  fullness ;  so  that  this 
work  is  a  substitute,  to  a  great  extent,  for  a  book  of  sy- 
nonyms. 

3vi.  A  complete  system  of  English  Pronunciation,  every 
word  being  so  marked,  as  to  exhibit  the  power  of  each  letter, 
and  the  proper  place  of  the  accent,  at  a  single  glance. 

4lh  A  xynopsis  of  words  of  disputed  pronunciation.  This 
enables  the  reader  to  examine  for  himself,  as  to  doubtlul 
points  About  nine  hundred  words  are  given  in  the  synopsis, 
with  the  decisions  of  seven  distinguished  writers  on  English 
orthoepy. 

5th.  The  whole  of  Walker's  Key  to  the  pronunciation  of 
Latin,  Greek,  and  Scripture  Proper  Mimes  This  is  the 
sole  and  acknowledged  standard  on  these  subjects,  both  in 
England  and  America.  When  printed  by  itself,  this  work 
makes  a  volume  of  nearly  three  hundred  pages,  8vo. 

Of  the  numerous  recommendations  of  the  original  work 
and  the  abridgment,  the  following  only  can  be  here  given. 

Prom  officers  of  Yale  and  Middlefrury  Colleges,  and  of  the 
Andorer  Theological  Institution. 
"The  meritsof  Dr.  Webster's  American  Dictionary  of  the 
Enghsh  Language,  are  very  extensively  acknowledged.  We 
regard  it  as  a  great  improvement  on  all  the  works  which 
have  preceded  it:  the  definitions  have  a  character  of  dis- 
crimination, copiousness,  perspicuity,  and  accuracy,  not 
found,  we  believe,  in  any  other  dictionary  of  the  English 
I^anguage." 

Prom  Rev.  Dr.  Wat/land,  President  of  Brown  Unirersily- 

"  It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state,  that  I  have  made  use  of 
your  quarto  or  octavo  dictionary,  ever  since  the  time  of  their 
pnbli.-alion  ;  and  that  for  copioustiess,  for  exactitude  of 
definition  ;  and  adaptedness  to  the  present  state  of  litera- 
ture and  science,  they  seem  to  ine  to  be  the  most  valuable 
works  of  the  kind  that  I  have  ever  seen  in  our  language." 

From  Dr.  Chapin,  President  of  Columbian  College,  D.  C. 

"I  am  prepared,  after ]>rotracted  and  careful  examination, 
to  say,  that  in  my  judgment,  the  dictionary  of  Noah  Webster 
possesses  unrivaled  merit." 

From  Hon.  Judge  Story. 
"I  have  had  occasion  to  nse  and  examine  Dr.  Webster's 
(uarto  dictionary,  and  the  abridgment  of  it  by  Mr.  Worces- 
*r.    Each  of  them  appears  to  me  to  be  executed  with  great 
wre,  learning,  and  ability." 


FVom  Dr.  Fisle  and  other  officers  of  the  Wealeyan  Utuver 
sity,  Middletcwn,  Ct. 

"We  have  seen  and  examined  your  American  Dictionary 
and  we  think  it  unrivaled  by  any  work  of  the  kind  in  the 
English  Language." 

F^om  the  Medical  Faculty  of  Yak  College,  and  other  di». 
tinguished  physicians. 

"The  subscribers  having  examined  Dr.  Webster's  quarto 
and  octavo  dictionaries,  talte  pleasure  in  expressing  our  ap- 
probation of  these  works.  The  definitions,  the  most  import- 
ant part  of  such  works,  as  to  practical  purposes,  arc  fuU 
and  correct,  and  the  vocabulary  is  by  far  the  most  extensive 
that  has  been  published  ;  indeed  it  is  so  complete  as  to  be 
a  substitute  for  all  other  dictionaries  of  the  language." 

From  the  Rer.  T.  H.  Galluudet,  late  Principal  of  the 
American  Deaf  and  Dumb  Asylum. 

"I  have  no  hesitation  in  saying,  tliat  Dr.  Webster's  Eng- 
lish Dictionary  is  decidedly  the  best  with  which  I  am  ac- 
quainted." 

Similar  recommendations  have  been  given  by  more  than 
a  hnnilred  members  of  Congress,  and  by  various  conven 
tions  of  literary  men  and  teachers. 

FOREIGN  TESTIMONIALS. 

FVom  the  Cambridge  Independent  Press. 
"When  this  work  is  as  well  known  in  Britain  as  it  is  in 
America,  it  will  supersede  every  other  book  of  the  kind  i« 
the  same  department  of  letters.     Its  excellence  is  ubvioua 
and  indisputable." 

FVom  the  Dublin  Literary  Gazette. 
"Dr.  Webster's  knowledge  of  languages  appears  to  be 
extensive,  and  Ids  researches  for  authorities  to  establish  the 
meaning  of  words,  not  to  be  met  with  in  other  diclionarica, 
numerous.  The  introduction  of  technical  and  scientific 
terms  is  a  very  valuable  addition  to  a  general  dictionary. 
The  notation  adopted  by  him  for  expressing  the  true  sound 
of  the  vowels,  is  much  simpler  than  tliat  introduced  by 
Sheridan,  and  followed  by  Walker." 

From  the  Examiner. 
"The  veteran  Webster's  work  is  new  to  this  country ;  but 
as  far  as  we  can  judge,  it  seems  tojustily  the  highly  favnralile 
character  it  has  long  maintained  in  America  ;  and  our  view 
is  corroborated  by  that  of  a  learned  friend  and  critic,  who 
does  not  hesitate  io  say.  ih  it  it  is  the  best  and  most  useful 
dictionary  of  the  English  language,  thai  he  lias  ever  seen." 

Prom  the  Sun  * 

"It  is  impossible  to  refer  to  any  one  page,  without  disrov. 
ering  that  Dr.  Webster  is  a  capital  etymologist.  His  deri- 
vations are  exceedingly  just,  and  his  explanations  of  terms, 
are  full  without  being  redundant" 

From  the  Aberdeen  Chronicle. 

"  We  beg  to  call  the  attention  of  our  readers  to  the  repub- 
lication of  tliis  work,  the  supreme  excellence  of  which  is  as 
obvious,  that  it  is  unnecessary  for  us  to  enlarge  on  iu 
merits." 

Extended  critiques  on  the  woric,  confirming  these  viewa^ 
have  appeared  in  tlie  Westminster  Review.  Mid  the  Scien  >* 
dfic  Journal  of  Professor  Jameson  of  Edinburgh.  C
